Chords

Michael Card Plays this on the Piano with Db, Eb, Gb, Ab, and Bbm, so I used a Capo. [Intro] C F D [Verse 1]
 Am
Amidst a mob of madmen

            G
She stood frightened and alone

   Am
As hate filled voices hissed at Him

      G
That she should now be stoned

    F
But in the air around Him

      Em
Hung a vast and wordless love

     F
Who knows what luminous lesson

        C              G
He was in the middle of
[Verse 2]
  Am7
At first, He faced the fury

   G
Of their self-righteous scorn

    Am
But then He stooped and at once became

    G
The calm eye of the storm

    F
It was His wordless answer

         Em
To their dark and cruel demand

  F
A lifetime in a moment

       C                   G
As He scribbled in the sand
[Chorus]
        D               C
It was silence, it was music

       G
It was art, it was absurd

    Em                 C
He stooped and shouted volumes

         G                  D
Without saying a single word

         Bm             C
The same finger of the strong hand

          G          Asus4    A
That had written ten commands

    Em      D      C                 G
For now was simply scribbling in the sand
[Verse 3]
    Am
Within the space of space and time

   G
He scribbled in the sand

    Am
They came to hear and see as much

   G
As they could understand

    F
Now bound by cords of kindness

    Em
They couldn't cast a single stone

    F
And Jesus and the women found

     G                   D
That they were all alone
[Chorus]
        D               C
It was silence, it was music

       G
It was art, it was absurd

    Em                C
He stooped and shouted volumes

         G                  D
Without saying a single word

         Bm             C
The same finger of the strong hand

          G          Asus4    A
That had written ten commands

    Em      D      C                 G
For now was simply scribbling in the sand
[Instrumental] G Bm C G A Em C G [Bridge]
     Am
Could that same finger come

            Em
And trace my soul's sacred sand?

    Am
And make some unexpected space

      Em
Where I could understand?

            F            Em
That my own condemnation pierced

          Dm               C
And broke that gentle hand

     G                        C
That scratched the words I'll never know,

 G               D
Written in the sand
[Chorus]
        D               C
It was silence, it was music

       G
It was art, it was absurd

    Em                 C
He stooped and shouted volumes

         G                  D
Without saying a single word

         Bm             C
The same finger of the strong hand

          G          Asus4    A
That had written ten commands

    Em      D      C                 G
For now was simply scribbling in the sand

         Bm             C
The same finger of the strong hand

          G          Asus4    A
That had written ten commands

    Em      D      C                 G
For now was simply scribbling in the sand
