Intro
Dm7 A# C
Dm7 A# C
[Verse 1]
Dm7 A#
I pass the whelming flood
C A#
That pours into this restless town
Dm7 A#
Through the blinding fog
C Am
That fills the air from sky to ground
A# Dm
Beneath a midnight sky
C C7
That casts a shadow on these hills
A# Dm
Hope - the only spark
C F
That burns from deep within me still
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A# Dm C
Winter has come; winter has come
Am
Darkness is forcing its way through
A# Dm C
But I'm not overrun; I'm not overrun
C7
'Cause I'm running into You
[Chorus 1]
A# F
As I make my way through this God-forsaking land
A# F
Watching devils laugh and drunkards clap their hands
A# F
Chilling winds pull me in and ask me for a dance
A# C
But I run on past
A# F
Up the road as crooked as the devil's smile
A# F
Past the open fields where dogs and wolves run wild
A# F
And I tell myself, "In just another mile
A# C
I'll be safe at last"
[Interlude]
A# Dm C Am
A# Dm C
[Verse 2]
Dm7 A#
I pass the gentle stream
C A#
That whispers underneath my feet
Dm7 A#
Through the silver dew
C A#
That glimmers on both grass and leaves
A# Dm
Beneath a midnight sky
C Am
That sets the world alight with stars
A# Dm
Peace - the brightest one
C F
Sends its warmth into my heart
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A# Dm C
Autumn has come; autumn has come
Am
Sunlight is forcing its way through
A# Dm C
And I am undone! I am undone!
C7
'Cause You're coming into view
[Chorus 2]
A# F
As I make my way through this God-beloved land
A# F
Watching angels laugh and children clap their hands
A# F
Gentle winds pull me in and ask me for a dance
A# C
And we dance our last! We keep dancing!
A# F
Up the road as blessed as the devil's frown
A# F
Past the open fields where lions and lambs lie down
A# F
And I tell myself, "This is my final round
A# C
And I'm not coming back"
[Bridge]
A# Dm C
The seasons have come; the seasons have gone
C Am
They've given this road a different hue
A# Dm C
The winter and fall; I've walked through them all
C C7
But this road keeps leading me to You
A# Dm C
The seasons have come; the seasons have gone
C Am
They've given this road a different hue
A# Dm C
The winter and fall; I've walked through them all
C C7
But this road keeps leading me to You
[Interlude]

[Outro]
F Am
God is my shepherd, He draws me close to His side
F Am
He waters my soul in rivers I thought had all dried
F Am
Yea, though I walk through valleys where my faith loses sight
F Am
I will not fear for You are here, even in the night
F
