[G] [F] [G]
[C] Up the [Am] stone, step side [Dm] climb, Hell is joyful, [G] day is return,
[C]
Into its [Am] great shadow, vault I go, [Ab]
Hail the [G] [F] Pentecostal Lord.
[G]
[C] The reading is from [Am] Luke 24, [Dm]
Where Christ returns [G] to his loved [C] ones,
I look at the [Am] stone, Apostle, [Ab]
Think that it's [G] alright [F] for a stone,
[C] And I wish that I [Am] were made of stone, [Dm]
So that I would [G] not have to [C] see,
Beauty impossible [Am] to define, [Ab]
Beauty impossible [G] to [F] believe,
[C]
A beauty impossible [Am] to endure, [Dm]
The blood and fallen [G] and little sins,
[C] The smell of you [Am] still, On my hands as [Ab] I, Bring the cup [G] up to [F] my lips,
[C]
No God [Am] up in the sky, [Dm]
And no devil [G] beneath the sea,
[C]
Could do the [Am] job that you did baby, [Ab]
Of bringing [G] me to [F] my knees,
[C]
Outside I [Am] sit, On the stone [Dm] steps, With nothing [G] much to do,
[C]
Forlorn and [Am] exhausted baby, [Ab]
By the [G] absence [F] of you.
