Intro: D# Gm Cm Bb

Verse (Key of Bb)
D#            Bb
Two months is too little
Gm               Cm
They let him go, they had no
G#        Bb
Sudden healing
D#            Bb
To think that providence would
Gm                   Cm                G#
Take a child from his mother while she prays
     Bb
Is appalling

Who told us we'd be rescued
What has changed and why should we be saved
From nightmares
We're asking why this happens
To us, who have died to live
It's unfair

Chrous:
(NC)            D#          Gm           Cm
This is what it means to be held, how it feels
         Bb        D#              Gm
When the sacred is torn from your life
    Cm      Bb
And you survive
                D#       Gm            Cm
This is what it is to be loved, and to know
         Bb                D#         Gm
That the promise was when everything fell
     Cm   Bb
We'd be held

Verse: Same chords as verse 1

This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it, let the hatred numb
Our sorrow
The wise hand opens slowly
To lillies of the valley and
Tomorrow

Chorus

Bridge (Key of C)
Am         F       C         G
If hope is born of suffering
Am         F       C         G
If this is only the beginning
Am                  E
Can we not wait for one hour
         C          Dm
Watching for our Savior
