[Verse 1]
My D#mheart has kG#mnown the winterEs
 And my feet have knoBwn the snow
 But minD#me eyes have G#mseen the glory
Of a Eseed begin to Bgrow
There is a D#mtime to uG#mproot, darlingE  
 But most days just hBold on tight
For tD#mhere’s a time for G#mdarkness, honey
But dEawn will always beat the nighBt 
B   G#m   B   G#m
E   B   E   B
[Verse 2]
SomeF#times deatG#mh will come calling E  
When you’ve been good and Bwarned
 And other tF#imes its coG#mld hands will cradle E  
Dreams F#yet to be boBrn 
There is a tF#ime to dG#mance on sorrow E  
And a time to kiss her Bcheek 
There is a tF#ime to mG#mourn in silence E  
But justice F#aches to hear you speaBk 
[Chorus]
And C#mI don’t know the eG#mnd, or tomorrEow’s stBory 
But C#mI have found the G#mone who gives me rest E  
And C#mI will make my G#mbed in His pEromisBes
 For C#mHe holds G#mtrue when nothing’s leftE  
When nothing’s leftB  
[Verse 3]
There is a tF#ime when laugG#mhter will echoE  
 Through your halls of peaBce 
But war is kF#nown to changG#me your locksE  
 And carry oF#ff the family keysB  
There is a time for heaG#mling and painE  
 A time for drought and a timBe for rain 
There is a tF#ime for eG#mverythingE  
 Until we F#crown the risen G#mKingE  
Until we cF#rown the risen King B  
[Chorus]
And C#mI don’t know the eG#mnd, or tomorrEow’s stBory
 But C#mI have found the G#mone who gives me resEt 
And C#mI will make my G#mbed in His EpromisBes 
For C#mHe holds tG#mrue when nothing’s leftE  
[Bridge]
So Ecrown Him in your mourning 
And F#crown Him in your laughter 
And G#mcrown Him when it all turns darkB  
 ECrown Him when you bury
 And F#crown Him when you marry 
And G#mcrown Him when your faith finds a spark B  
ECrown Him for He’s faithful
 And F#crown Him for He’s worthy 
And G#mcrown Him for He is good B  
ECrown Him for His promises
 F#Cut through the blindness
 OG#mf children that have barely understoodB  
The Ebeauty that has come 
And the F#beauty yet to come
 And the G#mbeauty that is yours and that is mine B  
And that Edeath produces life 
And that F#we are made alive 
By the G#mKing who paints beauty with time B  
By the EKing who paints bF#eauty with G#mtime 
By the EKing who paints bF#eauty with timeB  
[Chorus]
And I Bdon’t know the end, or toG#mmorrow’s stBory
But I have found the oG#mne who gives me rest E  
And I will make my G#mbed in His promiBses
 For He holds G#mtrue when nothing’s lefEt
When nothing’s leftB
