Without The Map

F#m
God, I've been sent here blind to 
learn to see,
            F#m                  
Remembering you were always there 
     E
with me.
            E
But do you know just how hard that's
 been?
              E                    
Could all of this have really been 
    F#m
foreseen?
            F#m
I'd like to say a prayer, how does 
it go?
            F#m                 
I'm tired. Tell me, God, does it 
 E
show?
                 E
What could have called for such a 
handicap?
        E                     F#m
I was sent out here without a map.
         F#m
All this time I've had to guess the 
way,
         F#m                   
To keep moving when I wished to 
 E
stay.
           E
I've been wrong as much as I've been
 right.
              E                    
You tell me: 'Walk by faith and not
    F#m
 by sight, and
F#m
Keep your heavy heart afloat.
          E
You are a timber carved by knife, 
but
 E                          F#m
Someday you may serve as a boat.'

    What I lose here on earth…
 C#m
    …Is lost in heaven.
         A
    If I ask you for help…
 A
    …it will be given.
               E
    But you've waited this long…
 E
    …you weren't ready.
          B
    My devotion was strong…
 B
    …it wasn't steady.

           C#m
    I have one more question…
 C#m
    …you have the answer too.
        A
    But what does that mean?
 A
    You're I, and I am you.
        E
    Why speak in riddles?
 E
    Then let me show the way.
           B
    That's all I've wanted.
B
    That's all you've had to say.


      F#m
Well come on then, God, show me,
      D
Which way you would like me to go, 
and
A
I won't resume to question,
          E
How I was ever supposed to know.
      F#m
There have been signs along the way,
 but
        D
They've been so very obscure.
   A
At times I thought I knew their 
meaning, but
     E                           E
How could I've ever been sure?


F#m
God, I was sent here deaf to learn 
to hear,
        F#m                    E
To have faith in you and never fear.
           E
Life is an ocean, you its every 
wave,
                 E                 
Your arms would cradle me, and keep
    F#m
 me safe.
                   F#m
You're right, all this, and more I 
need to learn,
           F#m               
All this unease just makes my 
          E
stomach churn.
       E
It was I not you who set this trap, 
but
         E                      F#m
You did leave me here without a map.
          F#m
All this time I've had to guess the 
way,
          F#m                  
To keep moving when I wished to 
  E
stay.
           E
I've been right as much as I've been
 wrong, so
       E                        
All I hear from you is: 'You are 
   F#m
strong enough,
                F#m
For all you'll ever have to face,
        E
The only map you need is Love,
    E                              
To guide you through this illusion 
      F#m
of a maze.'

   Our Father, who art in heaven,
 F#m
   Hallowed be thy name.
 E               E
   Thy kingdom come,
                 E
   Thy will be done,

         E                    C#m
   On earth, as it is in heaven,
              C#m           A
   Give us today our daily bread,
                A              E
   Forgive us, Father, all our sins,
             E                
   As we forgive those who sin 
  B
against us, and
    B                    C#m
   Lead us not into temptation, but
     C#m               A  A      
   Deliver us from evil,      for
           E
 thy is the kingdom,   and
             E
   The power, and the glory,
   B
   Now and forever more,
           F#m  E
   Amen.
