[Intro]
A D A D
[Verse 1]
Father AbraAham
Do you rememAber when
You were calDled to a land
And didn't know the Dway
'Cause we are wanderiAng
In a foreign laAnd
We are chiDldren of the
Promise of the faiDth
[Prechorus 1]
And I lF#mong to find it
Can you feEel it, too?
That the sDun that's shining
Is a shadow of the trDuth
[Chorus]
This is a fAar country, this is a fDar country
Not my hoAmeD  
[Verse 2]
In the dark Aof the night
I can feel the shadAows all around me
CoDld shadows in the corners of my heDart
But the heart of the fiAght
Is not in the fleAsh but in the spirit
And the spiDrit's got me shaking in the daDrk
[Prechorus 2]
And I lonF#mg to go there
I can feEel the truth
I can heaDr the promise
Of the angels of the mDoon
[Chorus 2]
This is a fAar country, it's jusDt a far country
Not my hoF#mme, not my homEe
[Instrumental]
A D A D
[Bridge]
I can F#msee in the strip malls and the phone calls
The flaF#mming swords of Eden
In the faDst cash and the news flash
And the hoDrn blast of war
In the siGn-fraught cities of the dyGing and the dead
Like steBmel-wrought graveyards where the wiBmcked never rest
To the hF#migh and lonely mountain in the groEaning wilderness
We acDhe for what is lost
As we Bmwait for the holy God
Of Father AbrahAam, oh Father AbrahDam
[End Chorus]
I was mF#made to gEo there
Out of this fAar countryF#m  
To my hoEme, to mAy hDome
This is a fAar country, it's just a faDr country
Not my homAe, oh Father AbrahDam
And I lonAg to go thereD

[Intro]

A D A D

[Verse 1]

Father Abraham

Do you remember when

You were called to a land

And didn't know the way

'Cause we are wandering

In a foreign land

We are children of the

Promise of the faith

[Prechorus 1]

F#m

And I long to find it

Can you feel it, too?

That the sun that's shining

Is a shadow of the truth

[Chorus]

A D

This is a far country, this is a far country

A D

Not my home

[Verse 2]

In the dark of the night

I can feel the shadows all around me

Cold shadows in the corners of my heart

But the heart of the fight

Is not in the flesh but in the spirit

D D

And the spirit's got me shaking in the dark

[Prechorus 2]

And I long to go there

I can feel the truth

The flaming swords of Eden

In the fast cash and the news flash

And the horn blast of war

In the sin-fraught cities of the dying and the dead

Bm Bm

Like steel-wrought graveyards where the wicked never rest

F#m E

To the high and lonely mountain in the groaning wilderness

We ache for what is lost

As we wait for the holy God

A D

Of Father Abraham, oh Father Abraham

[End Chorus]

I was made to go there

Out of this far country
