Intro:
Db


Verse 1:

    Db                           Db
Oh God, I am furrowed like the field
                    Db
Torn open like the dirt
                         Gb
And I know that to be healed
        Ab              Db
That I must be broken first
                      Gb
I am aching for the yield
                 Ab
That You will harvest from this hurt

Gb
Abide in me
Ab
Let these branches bear You fruit
Gb
Abide in me, Lord
Ab
As I abide in You

Db


Verse 2:

       Db
So I kneel
                             Db
At the bright edge of the garden
                       Db
At the golden edge of dawn
                          Gb
At the glowing edge of spring
           Ab              Db
When the winter's edge is gone
                          Gb
And I can see the color green
       Ab
I can hear the sower's song

Gb
Abide in me
Ab
Let these branches bear You fruit
Gb
Abide in me, Lord
Ab
Let Your word take root
Gb
Remove in me
Ab
The branch that bears no fruit
Gb
And move in me, Lord
Ab
As I abide in You

Db


Bridge:

Bbm                           Gb
As the rain and the snow fall, down from the sky
Db                              Ab
And they don't return but they water the earth and bring they forth life
Bbm     Db                 Gb
Giving seed to the sower, bread for the hunger
Fm                         Ab
So shall the word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder
Bbm                     Gb
And it will not return, it will not return void
Db                       Ab
We shall be led in peace, and go out with joy
Bbm       Db              Gb
And the hills before us, will raise their voices
Fm                               Ab
And the trees of the field will clap their hands as the land rejoices
Bbm                          Gb
And instead of the thorn now, the cypress towers
Db                             Ab
And instead of the briar the myrtle blooms with a thousand flowers
Bbm          Db         Gb
And it will make a name, make a name for our God
Fm                 Ab
A sign everlasting that will never be cut off
Bbm                       Gb
As the earth brings forth sprouts from the seed
Db                         Ab
What is sown in the garden grows into a mighty tree
Bbm                         Gb
So the Lord plants justice, justice and praise
Fm                   Ab
To rise before the nations till the end of days
Bbm                            Gb
As the rain and the snow fall, down from the sky
Db                             Ab
And they don't return but they water the earth and they bring forth life
Bbm     D                Gb
Giving seed to the sower, and bread for the hunger
Db Gb                     Fm                          Gb
So shall the word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder
Gb                     Ab
And it will not return, it will not return void
Gb                 Ab
It will not return, it will not return void
Gb                  Ab
It will not return, it will not return void
Gb                        Ab
We shall be led in peace, and go out with joy
