Chords

by Josh Garrels Key: Em Chorus
Em   G        D2     A2      Em
All creatures of our God and King

     G        D2       A2     Em
Lift up your voice and let us sing

  G          D2    A2    Bm
O Praise Him!   O Praise Him!

      C 
Alleluia
(Same chord progression continues all the way thru... You'll just have to listen to the song for the full rhythm.)
Em                      G
Creation sent to me the centipede to witness the

    D2                    A2
complexity of one hundred legs that were moving

    Em                    G
unexpectedly, ironically, just as they were meant to be,

        D2                        A2
they're fearfully and wonderfully made;

            Em                   G
An organism praised in circadian rhythms:

             D2                         A2
the sun will rise and then the sun will set, and then the sun will rise 

 Bm                                                     C
again, so lift up your head! this is life: not a static object preserved and 

   Em                           G
displayed like a relic from the dead

              D2                    A2
You are not a fruitless tree with a rootless disease

Em                       G
growin' in a bucket in a rich man's home

D2             A2
next to the TV tamed and alone

Em                       G
learnin' to lust for the things you don't own

        D2                      A2
like an arm-chair warrior who's been dethroned,

Bm                                                             C
declawed and fixed, fighting for you life with unattended slit wrists.

Em                           G
Don't let your name get intermingled with the number

          D2                      A2
cause its time to awaken from the devilish slumber,

   Em                G
to freely follow the Forerunner

             D2                       A2
to the fatherland and rally round the renaissance man

        Em                             G
and the wisdom of His ways and all the work of His hands

      D2                 A2
catch come as catch can      

                     Bm
concentrating on the good words of the Son of Man,

                                          C
the plan is to withstand the demands of a confused oppressor:

Em                     G
     a wolf in sheep's clothes

                D2                        A2
with monotonous lectures and questionable gestures

        Em                 G
unequal measures  cultural pressures

              D2                    A2
and synthetic textures, force-fed instead of the most beautiful

Em           G             D2                 A2           
architecture   of our long lost, forgotten origins:

       Bm
Unseen fiber in the blood of my King

                                         C
And that old rock where we confessed our sins

Em          G
Oh, my God, fellow man

   D2                   A2
in this great land they all cry out for

     Em              G
full restoration and this will take patience

    D2                                A2
And this will take the tribes and the tongues of all the nations

    Em              G               D2
and all of creation groans in anticipation

                A2
waitin' for the Son of God to be manifest

Bm
   I can feel it burnin' in my chest

                     C
liberation for the oppressed

         Em                 G                    D2
And it's beautiful like the feet that bring good news...

              A2                Em
Its beautiful like this freedom tune

              G                 D2           A2
Its beautiful like the power to choose... to change

Em                 G            D2
Beautiful like the long awaited rain

          A2               Bm
Beautiful like the healing pains

                                         C
Beautiful like the holy flames... coming down!

Em   G        D2     A2      Em
All creatures of our God and King

     G        D2       A2     Em
Lift up your voice and let us sing

  G          D2    A2    Bm
O Praise Him!   O Praise Him!

      C        Em
Alleluia
