Verso 1
      F                   Am
I am living in a land of death
     C                   F
The trees are burnt and grey
           F                    Am
There's a smoldering smoke overhead
         C                           G
And the night looks the same as the day
            F                  Am
It seems a miracle that I can stand
      C             F
When everyone I've known
        F                      Am
Drifts up in the air with the ash
     C                             G
Everytime that the wind starts to blow

Pré-Refrão
             F           Am              C
But I feel alive with a life that's not mine
               F              Am             C G
Your law is a stream in this wasteland, my lifeline

Refrão
         F                  C        F                Am
So much more than precious gold are Your promises my Lord
        F                C                          G
By them is Your servant warned and in keeping them great reward

Verso 2
Your direction is my delight, Your law secures my roots
I will meditate day and night, and in season you'll harvest the fruit
Though a poison should threaten to kill, I know my Savior reigns
And when the breezes of death leave a chill,
I've got Jesus' blood in my veins

Pré-Refrão 2
So I feel alive with a life that's not mine
And I'm believing that that was your intended design

Bridge
                 F
The kingdoms of man have all decayed
              Dm
The ruins of progress have turned to waste
              Am
The gods of greed lay in their graves
             G/E
Darkness is everywhere

                           F
But there's a path in the dark that has emerged
                   Dm
I can see a great light beyond this curse
             Am
A brilliant blaze that is your word
             G/E
A beacon of hope that burns

                F
And I focus my captivated gaze
                Dm
On the radiant light from Jesus' face
              C
The water of life is all I crave
           Em
Only your word remains

         F
So much more than precious gold
        Dm
Is the beauty I behold
             C
Give me the glorious reward
            Em
Of knowing you, my King, my Lord
