Michael Card – Rabbis Heart (Guitar Live)

          C            Dm       Bb
Isn't it dark for this time of evening?

               C           Dm       Bb
Does it seem cold for this time of year?

            C        Dm         Bb
You will forgive me, now, for asking

             C          Dm        Bb
But it seems strange to find you here,

             F                Dm
Here in this empty upstairs chamber

            F                Dm
Just a few hours before the dawn;

         F                  Dm
In a few moments, He'll be coming;

          C                 Bb
In a few moments, He'll be gone.

           C     Dm         Bb
As they recline around the table,

               C         Dm        Bb
As each of His followers finds a place,

                C     Dm         Bb
As each of them gaze upon the mystery

            C      Dm      Bb
Of the dark riddle of His face,

              F                 Dm
Could they be wondering in the shadows

             F                 Dm
"Is this the end or just the start?"?

            F                  Dm
If they had only learned to listen

       C                    Bb
To the beat of the Rabbi's heart.

            F                 Dm
The Rabbi's heart, it will be broken

           F                       Dm
To finally break the fallen curse,

           C                Dm
And the stillness of that heart was felt

       C                 Bb
Throughout the universe.

              F                 Dm
Then they'll find the faith to listen

        F                     Dm
And new hope to make a start,

             C                Dm
And they'll hear the sacred silence of

    C                     Bb
The beat of the Rabbi's heart.

              C           Dm     Bb
What could He mean "This is My body"?

              C          Dm      Bb
How could He say, "This is My blood"?

            C       Dm         Bb
How will He let Himself be broken?

           C           Dm       Bb
Will He be poured out like a flood?

          F                  Dm
In the confusion and the sorrow

             F                Dm
All of their hopes are torn apart,

             F                     Dm
But then the youngest leans and listens

       C                    Bb
To the beat of the Rabbi's heart.

            F                 Dm
The Rabbi's heart, it will be broken

           F                       Dm
To finally break the fallen curse,

           C                Dm
And the stillness of that heart was felt

       C                 Bb
Throughout the universe.

                  F                 Dm
And then they'll find the faith to listen

        F                     Dm
And new hope to make a start,

             C                Dm
And they'll hear the sacred silence of

    C                     Bb
The beat of the Rabbi's heart.

            C        Dm               Bb
Is that the morning light that's breaking?

            C         Dm     Bb
Is that the dawning of the sun?

             C       Dm      Bb
Now that the final meal is over,

             C       Dm       Bb
Now will you simply go back home?

            F                 Dm
Or will you linger just to listen

            F            Dm
For only an echo in the dark?

            F              Dm
Or hear the holy, hidden power

       C                 Bb     F
Of the beat of a broken heart?
