G
Down at Johnson's Creek the trees grow tall
Em
Like a man who feeds his soul on Your word
Bm
And I can look in the water & see the stars fall
Cadd9 Cadd9 D
Hear the fires crackle and the crickets chirp
G
And there are bluffs on the banks of the cumberland
Em
Where I can see the sun rise from a world away
Bm
I see the marvelous things that you have done
Cadd9 D
In the beautiful world that you have made
(Verse 2 Strumming)
G
In the winter it's white, in the summer it's green
Em
And in the fall it's orange and red and gold
Bm
Then it comes alive In the rites of spring
Cadd9 D
when the rivers thaw and the flow'rs unfold
G
And there are beads of dew on a spider's web
Em
And there are motes of dust in these beams of light
Bm
We who are bone and spittle and muscle and sweat
Cadd9
We live together in a world
D
where it's good to be alive
(Chorus)
C
'Cause it flutters and floats
Cadd9
It falls and it climbs
C
It spins and sputters and spurts
G
And You filled this world
G
With wonders 'round every turn
C
And it buzzes and beeps
Cadd9
It shimmeys and shines
C
It rattles and patters and purrs
G
And You filled this world with wonders
C G
And I'm filled with the wonder of Your world
[Verse3]
G G
If there's a better world and a brighter day
Em
Even brighter than the one we're in
Bm Bm
We'd all be fools to think that it could be made
Cadd9 D
By the wills and the hands of foolish men
G
So Lord to You we give our deepest praise
Em
And to You we sing our loudest songs
Bm
And while we live in the world that You have made
Cadd9
We hear it whisper of a world
D
Of the world that is to come
(Chorus)
C
'Cause it flutters and floats
Cadd9
It falls and it climbs
C
It spins and sputters and spurts
G
And You filled this world
G
With wonders 'round every turn
C
And it buzzes and beeps
Cadd9
It shimmeys and shines
C
It rattles and patters and purrs
G
And You filled this world with wonders
C G
And I'm filled with the wonder of Your world
