[Verse 1]
D#m7 Cb
I pass the whelming flood
C# Cb
That pours into this restless town
D#m7 Cb
Through the blinding fog
C# A#m
That fills the air from sky to ground
Cb D#m
Beneath a midnight sky
C# C#7
That casts a shadow on these hills
Cb D#m
Hope - the only spark
C# F#
That burns from deep within me still
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cb D#m C#
Winter has come; winter has come
A#m
Darkness is forcing its way through
Cb D#m C#
But I'm not overrun; I'm not overrun
C#7
'Cause I'm running into You
[Chorus 1]
Cb F#
As I make my way through this God-forsaking land
Cb F#
Watching devils laugh and drunkards clap their hands
Cb F#
Chilling winds pull me in and ask me for a dance
Cb C#
But I run on past
Cb F#
Up the road as crooked as the devil's smile
Cb F#
Past the open fields where dogs and wolves run wild
Cb F#
And I tell myself, "In just another mile
Cb C#
I'll be safe at last"
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D#m7 Cb
I pass the gentle stream
C# Cb
That whispers underneath my feet
D#m7 Cb
Through the silver dew
C# Cb
That glimmers on both grass and leaves
Cb D#m
Beneath a midnight sky
C# A#m
That sets the world alight with stars
Cb D#m
Peace - the brightest one
C# F#
Sends its warmth into my heart
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cb D#m C#
Autumn has come; autumn has come
A#m
Sunlight is forcing its way through
Cb D#m C#
And I am undone! I am undone!
C#7
'Cause You're coming into view
[Chorus 2]
Cb F#
As I make my way through this God-beloved land
Cb F#
Watching angels laugh and children clap their hands
Cb F#
Gentle winds pull me in and ask me for a dance
Cb C#
And we dance our last! We keep dancing!
Cb F#
Up the road as blessed as the devil's frown
Cb F#
Past the open fields where lions and lambs lie down
Cb F#
And I tell myself, "This is my final round
Cb C#
And I'm not coming back"
[Bridge]
Cb D#m C#
The seasons have come; the seasons have gone
C# A#m
They've given this road a different hue
Cb D#m C#
The winter and fall; I've walked through them all
C# C#7
But this road keeps leading me to You
Cb D#m C#
The seasons have come; the seasons have gone
C# A#m
They've given this road a different hue
Cb D#m C#
The winter and fall; I've walked through them all
C# C#7
But this road keeps leading me to You

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