[Verse 1]
Cm7 Ab
I pass the whelming flood
A# Ab
That pours into this restless town
Cm7 Ab
Through the blinding fog
A# Gm
That fills the air from sky to ground
Ab Cm
Beneath a midnight sky
A# A#7
That casts a shadow on these hills
Ab Cm
Hope - the only spark
A# D#
That burns from deep within me still
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ab Cm A#
Winter has come; winter has come
Gm
Darkness is forcing its way through
Ab Cm A#
But I'm not overrun; I'm not overrun
A#7
'Cause I'm running into You
[Chorus 1]
Ab D#
As I make my way through this God-forsaking land
Ab D#
Watching devils laugh and drunkards clap their hands
Ab D#
Chilling winds pull me in and ask me for a dance
Ab A#
But I run on past
Ab D#
Up the road as crooked as the devil's smile
Ab D#
Past the open fields where dogs and wolves run wild
Ab D#
And I tell myself, "In just another mile
Ab A#
I'll be safe at last"
[Interlude]
Ab Cm A# Gm
Ab Cm A#
[Verse 2]
Cm7 Ab
I pass the gentle stream
A# Ab
That whispers underneath my feet
Cm7 Ab
Through the silver dew
A# Ab
That glimmers on both grass and leaves
Ab Cm
Beneath a midnight sky
A# Gm
That sets the world alight with stars
Ab Cm
Peace - the brightest one
A# D#
Sends its warmth into my heart
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ab Cm A#
Autumn has come; autumn has come
Gm
Sunlight is forcing its way through
Ab Cm A#
And I am undone! I am undone!
A#7
'Cause You're coming into view
[Chorus 2]
Ab D#
As I make my way through this God-beloved land
Ab D#
Watching angels laugh and children clap their hands
Ab D#
Gentle winds pull me in and ask me for a dance
Ab A#
And we dance our last! We keep dancing!
Ab D#
Up the road as blessed as the devil's frown
Ab D#
Past the open fields where lions and lambs lie down
Ab D#
And I tell myself, "This is my final round
Ab A#
And I'm not coming back"
[Bridge]
Ab Cm A#
The seasons have come; the seasons have gone
A# Gm
They've given this road a different hue
Ab Cm A#
The winter and fall; I've walked through them all
A# A#7
But this road keeps leading me to You
Ab Cm A#
The seasons have come; the seasons have gone
A# Gm
They've given this road a different hue
Ab Cm A#
The winter and fall; I've walked through them all
A# A#7
But this road keeps leading me to You
[Interlude]

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