THE GREAT WHITE
Music & Lyrics by Josh McGary
VERSE 1
Em
I am weary
Holding tightly to the
Am
Precipice of what must be
Em
I am hungry
A man of misery
Am
And my body longs to feel relief
C G
To sleep this night
C. Am
But the walls are crashing all around me
F. G
They force me down
C. Am
As my body buckles I start to drown
F. G
Where can I turn
C
But to you
CHORUS
C
Lord come quickly
G
From the heights above the earth
Am
Ride on the light
G
Break through the night
Am. G
And claim me. yours again
C
Lord come quickly
G
Let my heart for you be sure
Am
Make straight my path
G
Hold fast my heart
Am. C
For your return
c am em

VERSE 2
Em
With indignance
softly grieving
Am
at the evidence of what i see
Em
few beside me
they desert me
Am
so i feast with ravens above my city
C G
How do they sleep at night
C. Am
though there’s children crying all around them
F. G
They look away
C. Am
they avert their gaze to what surrounds them
F. G
Where can I look?
C
But to you
CHORUS
C
Lord come quickly
G
From the heights above the earth
Am
Ride on the light
G
Break through the night
Am. G
And claim me. yours again
C
Lord come quickly
G
Let my heart for you be sure
Am
Make straight my path
G
Hold fast my heart
C C BM AM
For your return
BRIDGE
AM Em
and now I stride to hallowed ground
F c c bm am
and lift my heart to beat the sound
AM EM
of threshing wheat and pressing wine
F C C BM AM
the statue crumbling, the burning vine
AM Em
the scrolls to read, the thunderous trumpets
F c c bm am
the moon to bleed, the beast to forfeit
AM em
the thief to come, the mark to burn
F c am g
the lamb to rise
CHORAL
we pledge our hopes to you oh lamb, who was slain
am
come take your throne
em g
take what’s yours again
C g
blessings and honor and glory and power
am
to you and
g
your holy
c
name
CHORUS

Lord come quickly
G
From the heights above the earth

And claim me. yours again
C
Lord come quickly
G
Let my heart for you be sure

Make straight my path
