Without Running Away

     C
I've spent some days looking for a 
length of rope
      Am
And a place to hang it from the end 
of my hope
            F                      
But where I thought hope had ended 
                           C
I always find a little bit more

     C
It’s not like I'm trying to be 
optimistic
       Am
If the truth be told I'd rather 
dismiss it
       F                        
And be free of the burden of the 
                    C       G
living that hoping requires

   F        C
To bring my heart
   Am    G
To every day
    C                         
And run the risk of fearlessly 
 F
loving
                C
Without running away

C
Jesus is speaking but it's so hard 
to hear
     Am
When disciples with swords are 
cutting off ears

F                                 
Broken and bleeding I'm waiting 
             C   G
for healing to come

    C
But wounded's a part that I've 
learned to play well
           Am
Though the wound may run deeper than
 I know how to tell
      F                            
Where pain's an addiction that 
            C
keeps me buried alive
              F                  
But when it's all that I know I'm 
                    C     G
afraid to leave it behind

    F        C
And bring my heart
   Am    G
To every day
    C                         
And run the risk of fearlessly 
 F
loving
                C
Without running away

   Am                  F
My heart is not lifted up
   C                   G
My eyes are not lifted up
    Am       F           C   G
But calm and quiet is my soul
       Am             F            
Like a child with its mother is my 
C   G
soul

        C
After a while in the dark your eyes 
will adjust
       Am
In the shadows you'll find the hand 
you can trust
        F                          
And the still small voice that 
                  C
calls like the rising sun
G
Come

    F          C
And bring your heart
   Am    G
To every day
C                          F
Run the risk of fearlessly loving
                Am  G
Without running away
         Am                        
You must run the risk of fearlessly
 F
 loving
                G
Without running away
