A D A D [Verse 1] A Father Abraham A Do you remember when D You were called to a land D And didn't know the way A 'Cause we are wandering A In a foreign land D We are children of the D Promise of the faith [Prechorus 1] F#m And I long to find it E Can you feel it, too? D That the sun that's shining D Is a shadow of the truth [Chorus] A D This is a far country, this is a far country A D Not my home [Verse 2] A In the dark of the night A I can feel the shadows all around me D D Cold shadows in the corners of my heart A But the heart of the fight A Is not in the flesh but in the spirit D D And the spirit's got me shaking in the dark [Prechorus 2] F#m And I long to go there E I can feel the truth D I can hear the promise D Of the angels of the moon [Chorus 2] A D This is a far country, it's just a far country F#m E Not my home, not my home [Instrumental] A D A D [Bridge] F#m I can see in the strip malls and the phone calls F#m The flaming swords of Eden D In the fast cash and the news flash D And the horn blast of war G G In the sin-fraught cities of the dying and the dead Bm Bm Like steel-wrought graveyards where the wicked never rest F#m E To the high and lonely mountain in the groaning wilderness D We ache for what is lost Bm As we wait for the holy God A D Of Father Abraham, oh Father Abraham [End Chorus] F#m E I was made to go there A F#m Out of this far country E A D To my home, to my home A D This is a far country, it's just a far country A D Not my home, oh Father Abraham A D And I long to go there
