C#m B Bm A
C#mWhen He Btook the three disBmciples to the Amountainside to C#mpray
His Bcountenance was mBmodified, his cAlothing was aC#mflame
Two Bmen appeared; BmMoses and AElijah came
They were at his C#mside
The Bprophecy, the legBmislation spAoke of whenever he would C#mdie
Then tBhere came a word; Of wBmhat he should aAccomplish on the dC#may
Then PBeter spoke, to Bmmake of them a Atabernacle C#mplace
A Bcloud appeared Bmin glory as an Aaccolade
They fell on the C#mground
A Bvoice arrived, the Bmvoice of God, The Aface of God, covered in a C#mcloud
What Bhe said to them; The Bmvoice of God: the Amost beloved C#mson
ConsiBder what he Bmsays to you, coAnsider what's to C#mcome
The pBrophecy was Bmput to death; Was Aput to death,
and so will the C#mSon
And kBeep your word, Bmdisguise the vision tAill the time has Ecome
Bm D A E
Bm D A E
Lost in the Bmcloud, a Dvoice: Have no Afear! We draw nEear!
Lost in the Bmcloud, a Dsign: Son of maAn! Turn your eaEr!
Lost in the Bmcloud, a Dvoice: Lamb of AGod! We draw neEar!
Lost in the Bmcloud, a Dsign: Son of maAn! Son of GEod!

C#m B Bm A

C#m B Bm A C#m

When He took the three disciples to the mountainside to pray

B Bm A C#m

His countenance was modified, his clothing was aflame

B Bm A

Two men appeared; Moses and Elijah came

C#m

They were at his side

B Bm A C#m

The prophecy, the legislation spoke of whenever he would die

B Bm A C#m

Then there came a word; Of what he should accomplish on the day

B Bm A C#m

Then Peter spoke, to make of them a tabernacle place

B Bm A

A cloud appeared in glory as an accolade

C#m

They fell on the ground

B Bm A C#m

A voice arrived, the voice of God, The face of God, covered in a cloud

B Bm A C#m

What he said to them; The voice of God: the most beloved son

B Bm A C#m

Consider what he says to you, consider what's to come

B Bm A

The prophecy was put to death; Was put to death,

C#m

and so will the Son

B Bm A E

And keep your word, disguise the vision till the time has come

Bm D A E

Lost in the cloud, a voice: Have no fear! We draw near!

Bm D A E

Lost in the cloud, a sign: Son of man! Turn your ear!

Bm D A E

Lost in the cloud, a voice: Lamb of God! We draw near!

Bm D A E

Lost in the cloud, a sign: Son of man! Son of God!
