There Is An Everlasting Song

C                        F/C         C
There is an everlasting song on my lips
C                   F/C                  C  G/B
I got up early so I don't let that song slip
Am                             D7
And mighty is the voice I'm singing with
                      F/C
It beats out all the dread
                      C
Defeats the hours of darkness

  C                      F/C            C
There is an everlasting promise to be made
  C                        F/C             C  G/B
My ink is wet, there is no paper could contain
 Am                          D7
The depth of feeling that I pledge to you
              F/C
Solemn as the sea, solemn as the sea

  C                       F/C             C
There is an everlasting morning near the sun
  C                           F/C              C  G/B
It burns a hole in my heart, makes me want to run
 Am                         D7
And I would run all day if they give me the choice
             F/C
I hear your voice, I hear your voice
                C
I hear your voice

( D7  F/C  C )

  C                       F/C             C
There is an everlasting gladness of the heart
  C                           F/C          C  G/B
The stranger looks at me and loves me as I am
  Am                      D7
One day I stand upon the river's scared shore
             F/C
And feel the sun, I'll feel the sun

C                         F/C            C
There is an everlasting sadness all around
C                               F/C              C  G/B
It's bigger than the news, from this you cannot run
Am                     D7
A woman's magazine, a column in the mail
               F/C
Can't help you now, can't help you now

C                             F/C              C
I love the summer birds, they sing no word of lie
C                               F/C                  C  G/B
The air is cruel the frost will catch them as they fly
Am                     D7
But glorious the sun returns to wake the year
              F/C
They show no fear, they show no fear
                C  F/C  G/D  C
They show no fear
