[Verse 1]
C G Em D*
I still remember when I saw her
C G D
There as she wandered in the garden
C G Em D*
Standing a stone’s throw from her mother
C G D
There in the hazy afternoon
C G D Em D*
And I could hear a hallelu—llelujah
C G D
Like wedding bells all silver gold
C G D Em D
And oh, I felt it there and then—I still do
C G D
Her smile a-rushing through my soul
[Chorus]
C G D Em
She’s awesome as a mighty host
C G D
She’s an army with its banners flown
C G D Em
Now who is this who shines forth as the dawn?
C G D
Clear as the moon and bright as sunbeam songs
C G D Em
She’s honey-sweet, and oh, she’s red-wine strong
C G D C G D C G D
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
[Verse 2]
C G Em D*
Do you remember all the good times
C G D
When we were countin’ every dime?
C G Em D*
Oh we were poor as honest salesmen
C G D
Thirteen hour days, not much to show.
C G D Em D
You always told me you that you felt—so rich then
C G D
We always kept each other warm
C G D Em D
Didn’t we feast upon the fat things—a love like
C G D
Whiskey and songs around the hearth
[Chorus]
C G D Em
She’s awesome as a mighty host
C G D
She’s an army with its banners flown
C G D Em
Now who is this who shines forth as the dawn?
C G D
Clear as the moon and bright as sunbeam songs
C G D Em
She’s honey-sweet, and oh, she’s red-wine strong
C G D C G D C G D
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
[Verse 3]
C G Em D*
Weren’t we fruitful as a plum tree;
C G D
Better than trips to sandy shores
C G Em D*
Give me the sound of all our children,
C G D
These rough and tumble afternoons
C G D Em D
This life the Lord has given us—oh splendor!
C G D
And when I’m dying on my bed
C G D Em D
Oh, God Almighty, let me hear them—a chorus
C G D
Of all my people singing Psalms
C G D
With ragged breath, I’ll sing along
[Chorus]
C G D
She’s awesome as a mighty host
C G D
She’s an army with its banners flown
C G D Em
Now who is this who shines forth as the dawn?
C G D
Clear as the moon and bright as sunbeam songs
C G D Em
She’s honey-sweet, and oh, she’s red-wine strong
C G D Em
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
[Refrain]
C G D Em
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
C G D Em
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
C G D C G Em D* C G D
Oh, many waters cannot quench this love
~Soli Deo Gloria~
