Shadows
By Sarah Gerstenberg
Key of Eb
[Intro]
Cm  Bb  Ab
Cm  Bb  Ab
[Verse 1]
This earth’s a sGmhadow, it won’t Dmlast
Like every fGmlower it will Dmpass
And the sky will Cmbe rolled up someBbday 
and put F/CawayCm  
Like an Gmold worn-out gCmarment
They will pBberish and be cAbhanged
Every feaGmrfully tall Ebmountain
Will Cmvanish from its pFlace
[Chorus]
[But] Your Ebthrone Oh AbGod
Is Ebforever and eBbver
And your Ebkingdom Oh AbGod
Stands on Ebsteady righteousBbness
Though EbYou laid earthly Abfoundations
They’ll Cmpass to herald your Ebnew creation
You’re Abdoing a new Ebthing
In Bbus
Through Your righteousCmnessBb  Ab  
[Verse 2]
Even sGmun and moon and stDmars
Will be Gmburned up where they Dmare
Their mCmagnitude is Bbnothing when it 
F/Cstands against Your Cmhand
And with a mGmighty thundering Cmroar
The façade will dBbissolve that is the Abworld 
And we’ll be Gmaware – our eyes wide Ebopen
That we’re nCmaked beFfore You
[Chorus]
[But] Your Ebthrone Oh AbGod
Is Ebforever and eBbver
And your Ebkingdom Oh AbGod
Stands on Ebsteady righteousBbness
Though EbYou laid earthly Abfoundations
They’ll Cmpass to herald your Ebnew creation
You’re Abdoing a new Ebthing
In Bbus
Through Your righteousCmnessBb  Ab  
[Verse 3]
[Lord] we Gmhasten on this Dmday
Of Your Gmcoming so grand and Dmplain
We Cmseek to live our Bblives in 
HoliF/CnessCm  
We wait Gmfor the new heCmavens
And the Bbnew earth you will Abmake
In which Gmonly rEbighteousness 
dwCmellFs!
[Chorus]
[But] Your Ebthrone Oh AbGod
Is Ebforever and eBbver
And your Ebkingdom Oh AbGod
Stands on Ebsteady righteousBbness
Though EbYou laid earthly Abfoundations
They’ll Cmpass to herald your Ebnew creation
You’re Abdoing a new Ebthing
In Bbus
Through Your righteousCmnessBb  Ab  
[Bridge]
You Ebwork, and who can Gmturn it Bbback?
We’ll remAbember not the tCmhings of Bbold
Nor Abwill we say that the Ebformer days 
were betGmterBb  
Christ JEbesus sits at the GmFather’s Bbhand
His Abwork is done, the kingdom Cmushered Bbin
He’s Abmade a path in the Ebwilderness
That reaches CmJordan’s other Bbshore
[Chorus]
[But] Your Ebthrone Oh AbGod
Is Ebforever and eBbver
And your Ebkingdom Oh AbGod
Stands on Ebsteady righteousBbness
Though EbYou laid earthly Abfoundations
They’ll Cmpass to herald your Ebnew creation
You’re Abdoing a new Ebthing
In Bbus
Through Your righteousCmnessBb  Ab  
[Outro]
