Intro: | D | G/D :|| Verse 1:
          D                                 G/D
In these times in which we live, where the worst of what we live

    G/D                                        D
Is laid out for all the world on the front page

         D                                  G/D
And the sound of someone's heartbreak is a soundbite at the news break

        G/D                                         D
With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face

D7                        G
Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye

     Bm7      A                                   D    G/D
And stops to pray, for these times in which we live
Verse 2:
          D                              G/D
In these most uncertain hours where the balance of power

       G                          D
Is a fight that is fought every day

      D                         G/D
And freedom is a word, some cry out and some whisper

     G                                 D
And some are just too quick to give away

D7                       G
Blessed be the one who stands by the one

        Bm7      A                               D
On the battle line, for these times in which we live
Chorus 1:
      Em7  G        Bm7          A 
Well give  me a heart full of ten-der mercy

     G   Bm7     Em7   G
And arms I will open wide
Verse 3:
            D                                   G/D
For these times in which we live seems like the only answer is

 G                            D
Givin' up on findin' one at all

        D                            G/D
And we hide behind unsure, pull the blinds and lock the doors

     G                               D
And hang a pleasant picture on the wall

D7                                  G
Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer

        Bm7              A                                   D
And the only breath of life, for these times in which we live
Chorus 2:
      Em7  G        Bm7          A 
Well give  me a heart  full of ten-der mercy

     G   Bm7     Em7   G
And arms I will open wide

      Em7   G  Bm7            A 
Yeah, give me words full of loving kindness

     G     Bm7      Em7        G
And hands ready to hold up a light

                               D   G/D
For these times in which we live

                               D   G/D
For these times in which we live
Ad-lib with outro:
D                 G/D      D      G/D
  Blessed be the child oh-oh

D                G/D                D     G/D
Yea-yea-yea-yea-yeah-ah, for these times

      D         G/D                D    G/D
Everybody just stop and pray, yea-yeah

D
  For these times in which we live.
