God of sun and moon

       G     Am
God of ocean tides

         G         Am
You, who drive the stars

               G
You of perfect light

Teach me how to sing
[Verse 1]
       F       C                Am
And it came to pass on a cloudy night

             F                  C
That I found myself lost in the dark

        F         C               Em
And the wind blew cold and I was afraid

                 Am               C
And if love were lost how would I live
[Verse 2]
              Am                      F
You were like some mist in the fading light

              G                  F
And my broken dreams wept in the night

                  Am                F
Where was all the love we had known before

               G                        F
In this sea of tears, would I reach the shore?
[Chorus]
Am     G       Am
God of sun and moon

       G     Am
God of ocean tides

         G         Am
You, who drive the stars

               G
You of perfect light

Am              G       C
Teach me how to sing
[Verse 3]
      F     C                   Am
I was on my knees, I was at the end

                  F                   C
There was nothing left, I would never mend

       F       C                      Em
When I heard a song in the waves that tossed

                 Am                    C
Death is not the end, there is nothing lost
[Chorus]
Am     G       Am
God of sun and moon

       G     Am
God of ocean tides

         G         Am
You, who drive the stars

               G
You of perfect light

Am              G     C  G
Teach me how to sing
[Bridge]
Bb           C        Bb            C
Music of the spheres, through eternity

Bb                    C      Bb              C
Say that through your tears, you will always see

Ab                     Bb
Say the more you lose, that the more you own

Ab                     Bb
And the more you love, that the more you've sown

G7
Say the pain you feel, opens up your heart
[Verse 4]
          F        C                     Am
Where the swallows flew there was once a cloud

                F                    C
Now the sun was bright and the river smiled

      F         C                      Em
And I heard you say, "Death is just a dream

                 Am                    C
Make your songs again, you must always sing"
[Chorus]
Am     G       Am
God of sun and moon

       G     Am
God of ocean tides

         G         Am
You, who drive the stars

               G
You of perfect light

Am              G     C  G
Teach me how to sing

C           G      C  G
God of everything

C
Teach me how to sing

C
God of everything
