Misc Praise Songs – As Gentle As Silence (Guitar)

A        D        G   A       D      G  D
O, the love of my Lord is the essence

A   D          G    A        D    G  D
of all that I love here on earth.

         F#m G    A         A7      Bm
All the beauty I see he has given to me,

A7        D        G  A7     D     G   D
And his giving is gentle as silence.

A              D       G   A       D      G  D
Ev'ry day, ev'ry hour, ev'ry moment

A          D      G       A               D    G  D
have been blessed by the strength of His love.

        F#m G        A         A7          Bm
At the turn of each tide he is there at my side,

A7        D          G  A7     D     G   D
and his touch is as gentle as silence.

A               D             G   A            D      G  D
There've been times when I've turned from his presence,

A         D          G    A        D    G  D
and I've walked other paths, other ways;

         F#m    G     A            A7      Bm
but I've called on his name in the dark of my shame,

A7        D        G  A7     D     G   D
and his mercy was gentle as silence.
