Josh Garrels – Watchman (Guitar)

Em7    D/F#  G
If I’m fully honest

                    C
I’m waiting on Your promise

                 Em7         D                 C
Even through the trauma that swept my friends away

Em7          D/F# G
The darkness is upon us

                        C
The death of saints and psalmists

                   Em7      D      C
But I will sing my song for You anyway

                     G         F            C
Because You’re all I have Lord, You are the way

                G        F           C
And I’ll always love You, and I will wait

       G       Dm7      C
Like a watchman, at the gate

           Em7 D/F# G   C
Waiting for morning, to break

Em7            D/F#      G
I can feel the winds are changing

                         C
Getting further down the range and

                 Em7      D        C
Truth is looking stranger than the lies

Em7                 D/F#     G
Because it’s simple and it’s holy

                      C
It’s better than they told me

                Em7  A       C
Jesus You’re my only guiding light

                 G         F            C
And You’re all I have Lord, You are the way

                G        F           C
And I’ll always love You, and I will wait

       G       Dm7      C
Like a watchman, at the gate

           Em7 D/F# G   C
Waiting for morning, to break

           Em7 D/F# G   C
Waiting to hear you say

         G        Am7
Come on, enter in to my rest

    C
And lay your head upon my chest

    G      Am7        C
For I have called you friend

            G                      Am7
Because you kept your lamp burning through the night

        C
And you made your garments pure and white

   G       Am7   C
By my good sacrifice

              G              Am7
Yeah, singing now my kingdom is with man

   C
So come up to my table and

G             Am7        C
Raise up this glass with Me

            G                 Am7
Oh, singing no more tears and no more pain

    C
I’m making all things new again

     G     Am7       C
Just like I promised you

         G   F        C
Sing alleluia all the way

                G
And I’ll always love You

F          C
And I will wait

       G        Dm7    C
Like a watchman at the gate

            G       Dm7     C
Lord, I’m a watchman at the gate

                G    F     C
I’m waiting for morning to break

                G    F     C
I’m waiting for morning to break

        G          F
Keep my lamp burning

      C
Stay awake
