John Mark Mcmillan - The Road The Rocks And The Weeds Chords

[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
G
Come down from the stars, show your human scars
G [contd]
Tell me what it's like to believe
Am7                                         Em
Through my Christ haunted thoughts that the losses you bought
         C                                 G
Are the nights that you peopled with your dreams
C                              G
Well, I've got no answers for heartbreaks or cancers
Em                                 G  [E String walkdown]
But a Savior who suffers them with me
Em               D            C           G
Singing goodbye, Olympus, the heart of my Maker
C                        D                    G
Is spread out on the road, the rocks, and the weeds
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
Come down from your mountain, your high-rise apartment
G [contd]
And tell me of the God you know who bleeds
Am7                                      Em
And what to tell my daughter when she asks so many questions
C                                          G
And I fail to fill her heaviness with peace
C                            G
When I've got no answers for hurt knees or cancers
Em                                 G [walkdown]
But a Savior who suffers them with me
Em               D            C           G
Singing goodbye, Olympus, the heart of my Maker
C                    D                        G
Is spread out on the road, the rocks, and the weeds
 
 
[Chorus]
Am7                               D
And Aphrodite would not weep, nor Zeus would suffer for the weak
G                                    C
But have you come to stand inside my pain?
Am7                                     D
And all the things I've begged you for, eternity and evermore
G                                   C
Are hidden with me here beneath the rain
    D
The rain
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
So shall I plant sequoias and revel in the soil
C                                   G
Of a crop I know I'll never live to reap?
            Em         D             C             G
Then sow my body to my Maker, and my heart unto my savior
    C                 D                      G
And spread me on the road, the rocks, and the weeds
 C                D
Spread me on the road
