                C              D                G
All the host of men and angels failed to do the will of Heaven;

Now the Lord is still awaiting, you alone must answer His call.

Though His path is thorny and long, still I must go, follow my Lord;

                C              D            G
In His presence Eden blossoms, so a dungeon may be Eden;

           D    Em   G E7/G# A             G/D     D7  G
Just to be with my beloved, I'd endure all torture and pain.

G        B7       Em        G               C     D        G
Though I meet the shadow of death, He is my life, I am His own;

              C                 D             G
Strong desire swells within me, leading me to go be with Him;

            D    Em       G E7/G# A            G/D      D7 G
In my heart such strong de-sire; not a one can stand in my way.

Shameless disgrace! You tie Him in chains; scorning my Lord, you lead Him away,

Words and pictures witness your sin; All men shall know, judgement shall fall.

                C             D                      G
Blind officials ridicule Him, still the high priests mock the Savior;

            D  Em      G E7/G# A           G/D       D7 G
Do you mean to force upon us   tragedy and suffering again?
