Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G C G


Verse:
         C
Should I sow and see the fruits uprooted
         G
I will plant again with each new spring.
            C
And should I build and see it fall like Jericho
      G
I’ll praise you in the ruining.
            Em                     B
For there is more than breaking and mending.
D                        C
Time alone will tell the happy ending.
            G
This is not forever.

Verse:
         C
Should I walk then stumble on what wounds me
       G
I will weep awhile then I will lift my head.
            C
And should I speak just to feel my tongue go quiet
       G
I will listen for your voice instead.
            Em                      B
For there is more than faltering and silence.
D                             C
Mystery is singing through what binds us.
            G
This is not forever.
C            G
This is not forever.


C         Em               B
And every burden love has giv’n
      C                  G
Will be beautiful in time again.
         Em             B
All that is will pass away
           C
And we shall live.

        Em       B
Ooh-ooh-ooh   ooh-ooh


C G Em B C G C

       C
When I die I’ll fly above the blue
      G
And thank you for the proving ground below.
      C
But while I breathe heaven help me love here
         G
In the places you would bid me go.
          E                  Ebm
I will walk through mercy’s refining
   D                          C
Until the day I see the silver lining.
        Dm   G
This is not forever.
C            G         C
This is not forever.
