Was There Nothing

G                         C       G
Was there nothing but the hush of night?
C     G             Em      G
Had a boat; don't remember where.
G                          C        G
Did you flee from what was said and seen?
Em           C              G
Truth's not true under the light of lies.
Em         C         G
Raise your sword and shield

[Verse]

G                            C        G
Was there more than just the prose of night?
C     G              Em      G
Had a grave; don't remember where.
G                         C      G
Beaten down awhile I lift up my prayer.
Em       C            G             Em     C          G
Broken promises have set the snare; both sincere and not.
G                         C       G
Was there nothing but the blessed night?
C         G               Em      G
Had some gold but don't remember where.
G                           C       G
When does faith lift up its head so high?
Em     C                      G            Em     C      G
Oh, my Lord, won't you please tell me why faith bestows power?

[Chorus] (x2)
G                         C       G
Was there nothing but the hush of night?
C      G              Em         G
Had a treasure but I don't know where.
G                          C        G
Did you flee from what was said and seen?
Em        C                G
Yes, the good was not without the bad.
Em          C        G
Raise your sword and shield.
