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

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

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