Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
[Verse 1]
Am F
Glory weaved through sin-scarred earth
Am F
Like veins of gold catching light through dirt
Am F
But all that's been made is tired
Am F
Yeah all that's been made is tired
 
[Verse 2]
Am F
Creation groans for the final day
Am F
For all this weight to give way
Am F
But all still sits in the meantime
Am F
I still sit in the meantime
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G Am
Will my questions resound in the void
C F
Will I hear answers through all of the noise
 
[Chorus 1]
Am
Is my suffering an altar or some cosmic spill
F
A crack in the order outside of Your will
Am
How much of the wreckage will You use in the end
F
How much is random, allowed or intended
Am
I'd like to think nothing happens in vain
F
But sometimes the silence starts swallowing faith
Am
If I only trust You while my world's still intact
F
Is that actually trust or some thinly veiled act
 
[Verse 3]
Am F
You're reigning now but still we feel
Am F
Death rust all things and eat its fill
Am F
But nothing is lost, You say
Am F
Nothing is lost You say
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G Am
But my questions scream out in the void
C F
I need Your whisper to pierce through the noise
 
[Chorus 2]
Am
How much peace should I long for while still in this life
F
It's clear for the next one when all's been set right
Am
But I'm still in the darkness awaiting the light
F
And I know I should hope, but sometimes I'm just tired
Am
And yes I've been blessed just to breathe air at all
F
You've given much more and I'm grateful beyond
Am
All the words that escape me in the midst of this loss
F
You refine me as gold but I feel like the dross
 
Am Em F
oooh oooh ooh
Am Em F
oooh oooh ooh
 
[Outro]
Am Em F
And I don't know how this works
Am Em F
How your plan collides with pain
Am Em F
And my fear lives in those gaps
Am Em F
But there's one thing that I know
Am F
You sustain everything
Am F
You sustain everything
Am F
You sustain everything
Am F
You sustain everything
Am F
You sustain
