Visions Of God

Intro: Am G/B 4x

Am              G/B
She gently falls asleep
Am              G/B
Her head is laid upon my lap.
Bm              C               G/B
The highway sings a soothing lullaby.
Am              G/B
My daughter here beside me
Am              G/B
My little boy is in the backseat
Bm              C               G/B
Outlined by the headlights from behind.
Am              G/B                     C
I ask the Lord to freeze us here in time
Am              G/B                     C
As my son reaches out his hand to mine.


Chorus:
        Bm              C
Silhouettes sent from Heaven
        G                       D
Paint a portrait of eternal things.
                Bm              C
A fleeting glimpse like a vapor
        G                       D
Brings remembrance of what is holy.
Am                      D                       Em
Clean and pure, unblemished and unflawed
Am                      D
Oh, come to me sweet visions of God.

Am G/B 2x

  Am                    G/B
I hear her whisper sweetly
 Am                     G/B
"I made this for you, Daddy."
Bm              C               G/B
Her crayon masterpiece says, "I love you".
Am              G/B
At last a bedtime story
Am                      G/B
They rush to get beneath the sheets
Bm                      C               G
For Peter Pan, Pinocchio, and Pooh.
Am                      G/B             C
They cling to every word until the end
        Am                      G/B             C
Then they close their eyes and drift to Neverland.

Chorus

        Em              D
So often I have missed Him
        C               G
Like a shadow in the night
        Bm      Em      C
A familiar face I fail to recognize
        Em              D
But He is there in pigtails,
        C               G
Peek-a-boo and piggyback rides
Bm              E               C
A kiss, a gentle touch, a baby's cry.
