A    Dm
I am spent and with death you paid my ransom

        C                A#
For the witness of your word

                     A
To bring them is the jackal's sin

C    Dm    
Oh...   the eyes of death are upon me

                            Gm
And the watchman takes his toll

                                  A#            C
If the river will run dry it will never take us home

A#                Dm       C
    You cover the darkest part of me

A#                      Dm               C
    With a look that's sure to set the captives free

A        Dm
Oh, make way for I am not the redeemer

                                 Gm
Nor do the mountains fall in my name

                            A#
But with slightest cry, my hunter

                     C
You will fail to reach your prey

Dm
    Still with idle minds unconscious

                          Gm
As the hunter stalks his prey

              A#                 C
His eyes, his eyes are locked on me

A#                Dm       C
    You cover the darkest part of me

A#                      Dm               C
    With a look that's sure to set the captives free

A#                     Dm        C
    With love that the blindest eyes will see

A#                Dm       C
    You cover the darkest part of me

                 Gm
As I am met with travesty

Dm                  C 
    And I am broken   and I am empty

Gm                           Dm        C
    And through it all I can see your face

Gm                      Dm    C
    With words unspoken    I hear your voice

Gm                      Dm        C         A#
    I see the hand, the hand that writes it all

                  Dm      C         A#
You've called the wind to show its worth

                  Dm     C               A#
You've called the sun to brag about its warmth

        Dm          C   A#
Because You are the writer

Because You are the soul of the world

A#                     Dm        C
    With love that the blindest eyes will see

A#                Dm       C
    You cover the darkest part of me

A#          Dm          C
    Because You are the writer

    Because You are the writer
