Capo 2

I wanna make something beautiful

for You and from You

To show You, to show You I a-

dore You, oh, You

And Your journey towards me

which I see and I see

All You push through,

mad for You and because of You

I couldn't thank You in ten thousand years

If I cried ten thousand rivers of tears

Ah, but You know the soul and You know what makes it gold

You who give life through blood Blood,

G D

blood, blood, blood, oh, blood, blood

Oh, I wanna make something so lovely for You

'Cause I promised that's what I'd do for You

With the Bible I stole, I know You forgave my soul

Because such was my need on a chronic Christmas Eve

And I think we're agreed that it should have been free

And You sang to me

They dress the wounds

C G C

of My poor people as though they're nothing

G C

Saying, peace, peace

when there's no peace

They dress the wounds

C G C

of My poor people as though they're nothing

G C

Saying, peace, peace, peace

when there's no peace

Now can a bride forget her jewels

or a maid her ornaments?

Yet my people 'forgotten Me

And in their want,

Who'll dress their wounds?

Who'll dress their wounds?
