Without A Map

F~m
God, I’ve been sent here blind to learn to see,
F~m
E
Remembering you were always there with me.
E
But do you know just how hard that’s been?
E
F~m
Could all of this have really been foreseen?
F~m
I’d like to say a prayer, how does it go?
F~m
E
I’m tired. Tell me, God, does it show?
E
What could have called for such a handicap?
E
F~m
I was sent out here without a map.
F~m
All this time I’ve had to guess the way,
F~m
E
To keep moving when I wished to stay.
E
I’ve been wrong as much as I’ve been right.
E
F~m
You tell me: ‘Walk by faith and not by sight, and
F~m
Keep your heavy heart afloat.
E
You are a timber carved by knife, but
E
F~m
Someday you may serve as a boat.’
F~m
E
C~m
What I lose here on earth…
C~m
…Is lost in heaven.
A
If I ask you for help…
A
…it will be given.
E
But you’ve waited this long…
E
…you weren’t ready.
B
My devotion was strong…
B
…it wasn’t steady.
C~m
I have one more question…
C~m
…you have the answer too.
A
But what does that mean?
A
You’re I, and I am you.
E
Why speak in riddles?
E
Then let me show the way.
B
That’s all I’ve wanted.
B
That’s all you’ve had to say.
F~m
Well come on then, God, show me,
D
Which way you would like me to go, and
A
I won’t resume to question,
E
How I was ever supposed to know.
F~m
There have been signs along the way, but
D
They’ve been so very obscure.
A
At times I thought I knew their meaning, but
E
How could I’ve ever been sure?
F~m
God, I was sent here deaf to learn to hear,
F~m
E
To have faith in you and never fear.
E
Life is an ocean, you its every wave,
E
F~m
Your arms would cradle me, and keep me safe.
F~m
You’re right, all this, and more I need to learn,
F~m
E
All this unease just makes my stomach churn.
E
It was I not you who set this trap, but
E
F~m
You did leave me here without a map.
F~m
All this time I’ve had to guess the way,
F~m
E
To keep moving when I wished to stay.
E
I’ve been right as much as I’ve been wrong, so
E
F~m
All I hear from you is: ‘You are strong enough,
F~m
For all you’ll ever have to face,
E
The only map you need is Love,
E
F~m
To guide you through this illusion of a maze.’
F~m
Our Father, who art in heaven,
F~m
Hallowed be thy name.
E
E
Thy kingdom come,
E
Thy will be done,
E
C~m
On earth, as it is in heaven,
C~m
A
Give us today our daily bread,
A
E
Forgive us, Father, all our sins,
E
B
As we forgive those who sin against us, and
B
C~m
Lead us not into .but
C~m
A
Deliver us from evil,
E
for thy is the kingdom, and
E
The power, and the glory,
B
Now and forever more,
