Rejoice And Lament Chords

(ver. 1)
Josh Garrels
[Intro]

Dm - A# F - C G

[Chorus]
Dm                         F
Learn this lesson well, my friend
          C                     G
There's a time to rejoice and lament
Dm                        F
Every season will find an end
         C                    G
All will fade and be made new again


[Verse 1]
Dm
Standing on the rocks of the railroad tracks
     F
Feet calloused, eyes open, sun beats on my back
     C                             G
As I gaze upon the unseen winds
             Dm
And they are wandering, whispering

Wisdom that's eternal
          F
From the heart to the mind

To the hand to the journal
       C
Now the kernel of the seeds in the cleft of the rock
        G
And it's watered by the winds
                                Dm
Having power to unlock and
                              F
Stop the clock of chronological logic

With its homogenized systems
                         C
That are dead and can't dodge it
                                       G
Being deaf to the voice of the Almighty One
          Dm
Spirit illumines the dark like a fire
              F
Revealing the way that was hidden but is higher
             C
Now we must travel on the wings

That will never grow tired
   G
Of searching the mysteries of God
       Dm
I said Father the feathers of my wax wings
      F
Fall away by the rising of the sun
              C
And I have descended when I was undone
            G
And I will ascend when your Spirit comes
         Dm
Because what's been done and overcome
                         F
Cannot be stopped by the power of any human
                   C
Like the number of sand we will stand

And we will fall, all
G
In the face of an eternal call
              Dm
But those who call on His name

In the midst of the pain
        F
In the guilt and the shame

And the world full of blame
            C
And all the bloody stains

From the unjust gains
G
I learned all men suffer the same
        Dm
Because we're wayward sons

And all our jokes betray
    F
Our foolish hearts and our selfish ways
       C
But if we would turn to the Father's grace
         G
We would never be the same
           Dm
This is an unseen land of a devastated soul
                   F
That's prepared in contemplative silence
              C
For the mighty working hand of an unseen Lord
           G
To come restore this land from its violence
        D           Dm
I said walk another mile
F
Stare across the fields of grain
C                               G
This is how the prophets train


[Chorus] (2x)
  Dm                         F
Learn this lesson well my friend
   C                            G
There's a time to rejoice and lament
   Dm                      F
Every season will find an end
          C                     G
All will fade and be made new again

[Outro]
Dm F C G [x2]
