There was glory in the air; there was dinner on the ground

For the blessed peace of mind, that came to me that day
(CHORUS) C/G (bass down) This road is long and dusty
                    G       A           D
Sometimes a soul it must be cleansed
C/G (bass down) And I long to feel that water

Rushing over me again
