Song For Josiah

      Am                     F
And I swear I will never forsake you
     C          G      F
But there was a Father centuries ago
    C             G         F D 
Who watched his beloved Son die,
     F G
 oh, die

[Verse 2]

      Am F      Am        
Oh my son, I am weak and I'm 
   F
trembling
        Am                  F
For the Lord I am always remembering
   C             G              F
Oh what a strong Shepherd holds you 
in his arms
      C             G          
He'll break you and make you his 
  F D                    F G
own, and then take you home

[Chorus]

    C                              
But if I could I would protect you 
     F             G
from what you will see
     C                         
This world may promise love and 
             F          Fm
beauty, but it lied to me

           C                    
And I will show you, if you will 
 D
listen
           F      G            C
And I will promise to listen, too

[Bridge]
   F                               
Oh yes, there are some who love the
 C
 lies
                           F
They will kill you if they can
                                 C
Though you speak the truth with love
                            F
They will hate you like the man 
Jesus
    Em                     F  
Although he was God, he allowed 
                     G
himself broken for you

       F                       G
Oh, allowed himself broken for you

[Chorus]
    C                              
And if I could I would protect you 
     F             G
from what you will see
     C                             
This world just might seem so 
      F            Fm
alive, but it's dead to me
           C                      
And I will teach you, if you will 
D
hear me
           F                    C
And I will promise to hear you, too
       F   G
Yes, I do

[Verse 3]

      Am F Am             F
Oh my son, I am only your brother
      Am                      
For a sister, God gave me your 
 F
mother
     C          G      F
But just like a mother so long ago
       C           G         F    
Had to watch her beloved son die, 
D
die
                F              G  Am
Oh son, we will try to let you go
