Standing In The Breach

Am     F     C      G

[Refrain]
Am                   F            
Though the earth may tremble, and 
C        G      C
our foundations crack
Am            F          C      
We will all assemble and we will
            G
 build them back
Am                         F
And rush to save the lives remaining
C     E          Am
Still within our reach
C                    F/C    
Try to put our world together, 
   F              C
standing in the breach.

[Verse]
C                            
So many live in poverty, while 
  F              C
others live as kings
C                 Am                
                  D          G Aug5
And some may find peace in the 
acceptance of all that living brings
C                             
I will never understand however 
  F       D
they’ve prepared
C                          F/C   
How one life may be struck down 
   C               G
and another life be spared

[Refrain]
Am                   F            
Though the earth may tremble, and 
C        G     C
cast our works aside
Am                 F          C 
Though our efforts resemble, the
             G
 fluctuating tide
Am                        F
We rise and fall with the trust and 
belief
      C   E          Am
That love redeems us each
C                           
And bend our backs and hearts 
  F/C       F               C
together, standing in the breach.

Am                   F
You don't know why it's such a far 
cry
C                  G        C
From the world this world could be
Am                 F
You don't know why but you still try
C                         G
For the world you wish to see
Am                  F
You don't know how, it’ll happen now
      E                Am
After all that's come undone

         F                  Em
But you know the change the world 
needs now
Dm             G
Is there, in everyone

[Verse]
C
The unpaid debts of history
F                  C
The open wounds of time
 C                     Am     
The laws of human nature always 
   F               Fm6
tugging from behind
C
I want to think that the earth can 
heal
         F                  D
And that people might still learn
C                           
How to meet this world's true 
  F/C
challenges
            C                      
And that the course we're on could

turn

[Refrain]
Am                        F      
And though the earth may tremble 
        C      G         C
and the oceans pitch and rise
Am          F              C    
We will all assemble and we will
          G
 lift our eyes
Am                           F
To the tasks that we know lie before
 us
        C     E           Am
And the power our prayers beseech
    C                 F/C         
And cast our souls into the 
   F               C
heavens, standing in the breach

For the world you wish to see

You don't know how (it) it’ll happen
 now
F                E    Am
After all that's come undone
F                           
And you know the world you're 
          C            Fm6
waiting for, may not come

No it may not come
