by Josh Garrels No Capo Key: Em Chorus Em G D2 A2 Em All creatures of our God and King G D2 A2 Em Lift up your voice and let us sing G D2 A2 Bm O Praise Him! O Praise Him! C Alleluia (Same chord progression continues all the way thru... You'll just have to listen to the song for the full rhythm.) Em G Creation sent to me the centipede to witness the D2 A2 complexity of one hundred legs that were moving Em G unexpectedly, ironically, just as they were meant to be, D2 A2 they're fearfully and wonderfully made; Em G An organism praised in circadian rhythms: D2 A2 the sun will rise and then the sun will set, and then the sun will rise Bm C again, so lift up your head! this is life: not a static object preserved and Em G displayed like a relic from the dead D2 A2 You are not a fruitless tree with a rootless disease Em G growin' in a bucket in a rich man's home D2 A2 next to the TV tamed and alone Em G learnin' to lust for the things you don't own D2 A2 like an arm-chair warrior who's been dethroned, Bm C declawed and fixed, fighting for you life with unattended slit wrists. Em G Don't let your name get intermingled with the number D2 A2 cause its time to awaken from the devilish slumber, Em G to freely follow the Forerunner D2 A2 to the fatherland and rally round the renaissance man Em G and the wisdom of His ways and all the work of His hands D2 A2 catch come as catch can Bm concentrating on the good words of the Son of Man, C the plan is to withstand the demands of a confused oppressor: Em G a wolf in sheep's clothes D2 A2 with monotonous lectures and questionable gestures Em G unequal measures cultural pressures D2 A2 and synthetic textures, force-fed instead of the most beautiful Em G D2 A2 architecture of our long lost, forgotten origins: Bm Unseen fiber in the blood of my King C And that old rock where we confessed our sins Em G Oh, my God, fellow man D2 A2 in this great land they all cry out for Em G full restoration and this will take patience D2 A2 And this will take the tribes and the tongues of all the nations Em G D2 and all of creation groans in anticipation A2 waitin' for the Son of God to be manifest Bm I can feel it burnin' in my chest C liberation for the oppressed Em G D2 And it's beautiful like the feet that bring good news... A2 Em Its beautiful like this freedom tune G D2 A2 Its beautiful like the power to choose... to change Em G D2 Beautiful like the long awaited rain A2 Bm Beautiful like the healing pains C Beautiful like the holy flames... coming down! Em G D2 A2 Em All creatures of our God and King G D2 A2 Em Lift up your voice and let us sing G D2 A2 Bm O Praise Him! O Praise Him! C Em Alleluia
