You Lay Down

Em      Am
Em      Am

     G                   G/F#
In a garden of thorns my Rose of Sharon
Am                                 D
Bleeds till she’s the color of the moonlight
        G                        G/F#
And the angels wrap her in their feathered arms
         Am                          D
But they cannot conceal her from the darkest night

        Am               D
And you didn’t say a word when they accused you
    Am                          D
You did not fight back when the whole world used you

     G                         G/F#
When hate was crowned king and love was diminished
          B                    Em
You stood meek as a lamb there without blemish
         Am                        D
And they laughed when you cried out, "It is finished!"

    Em
You lay down, you lay down
         Am
And I’ll step upon your back
         Em
Up high above, above the fence
       Am             Bm/F# Em
to see all the way to Glory land

          G                   G/F#
Above the garden of thorns my Rose of Sharon
              Am                      D
climbs up and clings to an old rugged tower
               G                  G/F#
And though the angels offer her a thousand tears
          Am                              D
Still she wilts in the cold flames of her darkest hour

      Am               D
And I lied when I said, "I never knew you"
    Am                        D
You did not fight back when I scarred and bruised you

     G                            G/F#
When hate was a king your love never diminished
          B                    Em
You stood meek as a lamb there without blemish
       Am
And we laughed when you cried out
       D
How we laughed when you cried out
D
It is finished

Em      Am
Em      Am

    Am               D
You didn’t say a word when we accused you
    Am                           D
You did not fight back when the whole world used you

     G                               G/F#
When hate was crowned king your love never diminished
          B                   Em
You stood meek as a lamb there without blemish
       Am
And we laughed when you cried out
D
  It is finished

       Em
So you lay down, you lay down
         Am
And I’ll step upon your back
         Em
Up high above, above the fence
       Am             Bm/F# Em
to see all the way to Glory land
       Am             Bm/F# Em
to see all the way to Glory land
       Am             Bm/F# Em
to see all the way to Glory land
