Benediction
Susan Ashton
D G/D Gm/D D G/D Gm/D
D G/D
I long for the shape of things to be true to their form
D G/D
Love in a circle, hearts in a line
A/C# F#m7 G /A G/D D G/B C D G/B C
Molded by sacred design
But I see a diversity of opinion unfold
Discerning masons building a wall
A/C# F#m7 G A G/D D G/B C D G/B C G/B
But I need help to stand, not to fall
Am/C G/B
I'm taking a road that I've never been down
Am/C D
I'm doing the best I can
Am/C G/B
I really believe I'm where I need to be now
C G/B Am7 G
Tell me You understand
D/F# Am/C G/B
I'm following a voice in faithful pursuit
Gm/Bb D/F# Bm7 C2
I'm searching my soul to do what I'm called to do
D G/B C D G/B C
I need Your benediction, where's Your benediction
D/F# Am/C G/B
I'm battling the odds through faces of doubt
Gm/Bb D/F# Bm7 C2
And it would mean so much if You could send me out
D G/B C D G/B C
With Your benediction, I need Your benediction
Don't turn and close Your eyes to the vision I see
Don't leave me defenseless in fields of reproach
Now, when I need You the most
I'm taking a road that I've never been down
Tell me that You'll be there
Helping to turn a discouraging word
Into a word of prayer
D G/D D G/D
I need Your, I need Your, I need Your
D G/B C D G/B C D G/B C D G/B C
Benediction
D G/B C D C2
D G/B C D C G/B Am G/B Am G
Am/C G/B Am/C G/B Am/C G/B C2 G/B Am7 G
