E Amaj7 A/C#
Laughter and gloom everywhere fill the air
C6 B7sus Bm7 C#m7
We breathe, while fear …. stirs but a chosen few who hear
F#m Aadd9
Sensing darkness soon will be here
C6 B7sus Bm7 C#m7
While loads there are…., lost in a dark and deadly daze
F#m Aadd9
(Maybe this will be their last phase?)
C#m7 Aadd9 C#m7 Aadd 9
Feeling safe in each other’s embrace, shunning conscience they stare into space….
D/E E Bm D/A A
“Better think a while or you may never think again!
A7 Dmaj7 Gmaj9 Gm
If this were the last day of your life my friend
F#m7 B7
…Tell me what do you think you would do then?”
E A/C#
Wake up to the call of Christ the Lord upon you
E A/C#
Make the most of all you still have coming to you
F#m F#m/E F#m/D#
Lay down on the ground, and let the tears run from you
C#m A B B/A
Telling to the God who sees, your need for mercy on your knees…
E A/C#
Learn to live again, don’t let your soul be wanting
E A/C#
Let the words of men not undermine your thinking
F#m F#m/E F#m/D#
Subject every thought to sacred truth accepting
C#m A G#7sus G#7 C# G#m7 C# G#m7 C#.
God is God and we are dust and so we must repent and trust in Him.”
Esus E Amaj7 A/C#
Visionless, lost and confused, feeble sheep,
C6 B7sus Bm7 C#m7
Lie down, and sleep…. caught in a snare neatly concealed
F#m Aadd9
While supposing all had been healed
C6 B7sus Bm7 C#m7
Yet some there are…., drawn by the flickering of God’s light
F#m Aadd9
Learn to navigate a new flight,
C#m7 Aadd9 C#m7 Aadd 9
Recognising the sound of His voice penetrating the tumult of noise….
D/E E Bm D/A A
“Better think a while or you may never think again!”
A7 Dmaj7 Gmaj9 Gm
Why stay in this dead season of life my friend?
F#m7 Bsus B7
If you care for the kingdom of Christ then…
E A/C#
Stand up for God’s Law, defend His holy precepts
E A/C#
In your heart be sure to let it guide your footsteps
F#m F#m/E F#m/D#
Publish it abroad from lofty tow’rs and tree-tops
C#m A B B/A
Telling all theonomy can rid us of this tyranny
E A/C#
Learn to live again, let not your hands be idle
E A/C#
Christ must yet reclaim all that’s been lost to idols
F#m F#m/E F#m/D#
Pray that He’ll sustain the work of reconstruction
C#m A G#7sus G#7 C# G#m7 C# G#m7 C#.
Through His saints, till pressing on they through the Son prevail and overcome!
Lyrics from ‘Undertow’ by Genesis (Then there were three) – freely adapted by Steve Layfield
I really liked this track (Undertow) from this album. What a musical masterpiece beautifully written & sung by Phil Collins if I remember rightly…
