1. Shadowfeet Deciphering Me
Am7 D G C G/B Am7 G C
Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet Friend, it's getting late, we should be going
D G C Am7 G D C
Toward home, a land that I've never seen We have sat here beneath these flickering neons for hours.
D G C G/B Am7 G C
I am changing: Less and less asleep While I am cracking their code, you are deciphering me
D G C G/B Em D Am
Made of different stuff than when I began For I am a mystery, I am a locked room in a tall tower.
F G D
And I have sensed it all along C G D Am
Am D Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home?
Fast approaching is the day C G D Am
Oh did you see the stars colliding? Shining just to show,
C G D C
When the world has fallen out from under me We belong.
C G D G
I'll be found in you, still standing We belong.
C G B7
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees G C
C Your telescope eyes see everything clearly
When time and space are through G
G D My vision is blurred but I know what I herd
I'll be found in you C
Echoing all around.
G C
Am7 D G C G/B Am7 Well I am tuning you in and you are deciphering me.
There’s distraction buzzing in my head Em D Am
D G C G/B Am7 Not such a mystery, not such a faint and far away sound.
Saying in the shadows it's easier to stay
D G C G/B Am7 C G D Am
But I've heard rumours of true reality Oh can you feel the gravity falling? Calling us home?
D C C G D Am
Whispers of a well-lit way Oh did you see the stars colliding? Shining just to show,
C
C G D We belong.
You make all things new Am
We belong.
C G D
When the world has fallen out from under me Am Em
C G D Its love, its love that holds us
I'll be found in you, still standing G D
C G B7 We will be alright
Every fear and accusation under my feet Am Em
C Its truth, its truth that shows us
When time and space are through G D
G D As we walk in this life.
I'll be found in you
Am Em
Its love, its love that holds us
G D
We will be alright
Am Em
Its truth, its truth that shows us
G D
As we walk in this life.

2. Love Is Waiting Albertine
G Em7 C2 Capo 3, Intro Am C Am
C
G Em7 C2 I am sitting still
In the autumn on the ground Am
G Em7 C2 I think of Angelique
Between the traffic and the ordinary sounds F
G Em7 C2 Her mother's voice over me
I am thinking signs and seasons Am
G Em7 C2 And the bullets in the wall where it fell silent
While a north wind blows through C
G Em7 C2 And on a thousandth hill
I watch as lovers pass me by Am
G Em7 C2 I think of Albertine
Walking stories, who’s and how’s and why’s F
G Em7 C2 There in her eyes what I don't see
Musing lazily on love, pondering you Am
With my own.
Am7 F
Let’s give it time, give it space Rwanda
D C
And be still for a spell Now that I have seen
Am7 G Dm7
When it’s time to walk that way I am responsible
C2 D F
We wanna walk it well Faith without deeds is dead
C
G Em7 C2 Now that I have held you
I’ll be waiting for you baby G Dm7
G Em7 C2 In my own arms
I’ll be holding back the darkest night Am
G Em7 C2 I cannot let go 'til you are
Love is waiting ‘til we’re ready Am C Am
G Em7
‘Til it’s right C
C2 And I am on a plane
Love is waiting Am
Across a distant sea
G Em7 C2 F
It’s my caution not the cold But I carry you in me
G Em7 C2
There’s no other hand that I would rather hold In the dust on, the dust on
G Em7 C2 Am
The climate changes, I’m singing for strangers about you The dust on my feet
Am C Am
Am7
Don’t keep time, slow the pace C Am
D I will tell the world
Honey hold on if you can F C
Am7 I will tell them where I've been
The bets are getting surer now Am
C2 D I will keep my word
That you’re my man F C
I will tell them Albertine
Am7 Em D G Am C Am
I could write a million songs about the way you say my name
Am7 Em D G C
I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again And I am on a stage
Am7 Em Am
And like I can’t force the sun to rise A thousand eyes on me
D G F
Or hasten summer’s start I will tell them, Albertine
F C D Am
Neither should I rush my way into your heart I will tell them, Albertine

3. C.S. Lewis Song Am C G
I will sigh and with all creation groan
Am C G Dm Am C G Dm Dm Am C G Dm
Ah............................. Ah................... If I as I wait for hope to come for me for me
Am C G Dm Am C G Dm
Dm F G Am Em7 F G Asus2 For me........................................................
If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy Am C G Dm Am C G Dm
F G Am Em7 F Ah............................. Ah...........................
I can only conclude that I, I was not made for here
F G Am Em7 F G Am
Faithful
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary
F G Am Em7 F G Am
G C
Then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm
There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave
compared
D Am
I wave my arms 'round about me and blow with all my might
Am C G
G C
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here
Dm Am C G Dm
D Am Csus4 C
Mercy comes with the morning
But the comfort of you near is what I long for
Am C G
I will sigh and with all creation groan
G C Am D
Dm Am C G Dm
When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
as I wait for hope to come for me
G C Am D
When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray
F G
Em C D G
Am I lost or just less found?
And I want you more than I want to live another day
Am Em7 F G Am
Am C G C Am D
On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful
F G
Is this a soul that stirs in me?
G C
Am Em7 F G Am
All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone
Is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
D Am
I still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right
Dm F Am9
G C
'Cause my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
So I whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tongue,
Dm F C G
D Am
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become
Knowing you're the only one who knows me
C
Am C G
You know me
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Dm Am C G Dm
Bm C Dsus4 D
Mercy comes with the morning
Show me how I should live this
Am C G
Bm C Dsus4 D
I will sigh and with all creation groan
Show me where I should walk
Dm Am C G Dm
Bm C Dsus4 D
as I wait for hope to come for me
I count this world as loss to me
Am
C Am
You are all I want
For we, we are not long here
C G C Am D
Dm G
You are all I want
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
C Am Dm G
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know
you
Am C G Dm
Hope is coming for me
Am C G Dm
Hope is coming for me
Am C G Dm
Hope is coming for me
Am C G Dm
Hope, He's coming
Am C G
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Dm Am C G Dm
Mercy comes with the morning

4. Hosea's Wife D
Leave all you were before
Em7 (or 9) Am
I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me To believe is to begin
Am9
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech Em
Em7 Am9 We are more than dust
That turned to mine and asked belligerently, "What do I live for?" C
Em7 That means something
I see the scars of searches everywhere I go A
Am9 That means something
From hearts to wars to literature to radio Am Em
Em7 We are more than just
There's a question like a shame no one will show, C A
Am9 blood and emotions, inklings and notions,
"What do I live for?" D B7

Using people like ladders and words like knives Em A
Using people like ladders and words like knives
C
If we've eyes to see C
Em If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear Em
D Am If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths, the word that saves is near D Am
C To find it in our hearts and mouths, the word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin C
Em Shed that shallow skin
Come and live again Em
D Come and live again
Leave all you were before D
Am9 Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin Am
To believe is to begin
Em7
There is a truth in little corners of our lives Em D C
Am9 To believe is to begin
There are hints of it in songs and childrens' eyes Em D C
Em7 To believe is to begin
It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby Em D C
Am9 To believe is to begin
What do I live for?
C
We are Hosea's wife
D
We are squandering this life
Em A
Using Bodies like money and truth like lies

If we've eyes to see
