The Howling

Genesis 4:10, Psalms 69, Isaiah 62:1, Romans 8:18-22


E               Esus                E
  I can see the iron horses' tracks 
                             Esus
Pressed in the mud from the weight of all that steam and steel 
A           
  But the wind don't blow where you want it to go 
No, the wind just goes where it will and you follow 
E                 Esus            E
  I can feel the breath of winter 
                   Esus                            A
Driving this snow across these newly-whited plains 
Takes my breath from me and it leaves me falling 
Then it picks me up again in its own strength 

F#m7                     A
     And I can hear the wild wind howling 
Esus/B                   D2    Dmaj7  D6
       And I can feel it in my bones 
A2                     Esus/B               D   Dmaj7  D6
And I know that the  howl-ing will take me home

I can see some traveller's footprints 
There's a little bit of blood in every step he made 
I wonder what kind of burden he's bearing 
That has cut him so deeply every step along the long, long way 
In the west I see an evening 
This scarlet thread stretched beneath the gathering dark 
Red as the blood on the hands of the Savior 
And rich as the mercy that flowed from His broken heart 

And I can hear the wild wind howling 
And I can feel it in my bones 
And I know that the howling will take me home 

F#m               D                   A
    These men of violence, they have made this a world full of wars 
F#m                    A                    D      Dmaj7       D6
    Oh God break Your silence and let Your justice shine forth 
           D    Dmaj7    D  E
Show some mercy, Oh  Lord 

'Cause I can see a people dispossessed 
Broken and brave in the face of so much fear 
Driven from their homes by the greed of a nation 
Whose treaties were as good as litter 
Along the trail of their tears 
I can see the Covenant colors 
The sun and the rain have woven against the blue of the sky 
And I know if we live we will live by His promise 
I know He who made it and 
And I'm sure that He would not lie 

F#m7                     A
     And I can hear the wild wind howling 
Esus/B                   D2    Dmaj7  D6
       And I can feel it in my bones 
A2                     Esus/B               D   Dmaj7  D6
And I know that the  howl-ing will take me home
D  Esus/D
