ABless this Eday that F#mit might C#mbe 
DFree from all unEcertainE7ty 
AFree from Etears and F#mfears and C#mdoubt

And bless this house Lord while it stands 
For this old house is in Your Hands

And bless this woman here at my side 
When I need a place to hide 
I crawl into her loving eyes 
Where I Dfind a Eplace to F#msleep D  Bm  
ELove is E7all that Amatters
