Wind And Spirit

        F#m
I hear a sound and turn to see
                                     D
A new direction on that rusty weathervane
E
Suddenly the dead brown leaves are stirred
    Bm                                  Esus4
To scratch their circle dances down the lane
            F#m
And now the sturdy oaks start clappin’
                                                  D
With the last few stubborn leaves that won’t let go
      E
I can hear Old Glory snappin’
       Bm                                      Esus4
And her tattered rope now clangin’ against the pole
(CHORUS)
                           A
And my breath is snatched away
                        E
And a tear comes to my eye
                              A
Feels like somethin’s on the way
       D
So I look up to the sky

I look up to the sky and
 A               D
From the corners of creation
 E                 Esus4
Comes the Father’s holy breath
 A                      D
Ridin’ on a storm with tender fierceness
Bm          A       E   F#m
Stirring my soul to holiness
D           A       E      A
Stirring my soul to holiness
(VERSE2)
        F#m
I see the lifeless dust now resurrected
                                 D
Swirling up against my window pane
E
And carried ‘cross the distance
    Bm                                  Esus4
Come the long awaited fragrances of earth and rain
            F#m
And out across the amber field

The slender grasses bend and bow
                D
And kiss the ground
       Bm                            Esus4
And in them I see the beauty of the souls
                        E
Who let the Spirit lay them down

(CHORUS)
                        A
And it takes my breath away
                        E
And a tear comes to my eye
                              A
Feels like somethin’s on the way
       D
So I look up to the sky

I look up to the sky and
 A               D
From the corners of creation
 E                 Esus4
Comes the Father’s holy breath
 A                      D
Ridin’ on a storm with tender fierceness
Bm          A       E   F#m
Stirring my soul to holiness
D           A       E      A
Stirring my soul to holiness
(BRIDGE)
           E                                Bm/E
And like a mighty wind blows with a force I cannot see
        D          F#m           D          F#m
I will open wide my wings, I will open wide my wings
        D         F#m               D     E     A
I will open wide my wings and let the Spirit carry me

 A               D
From the corners of creation
 E                 Esus4
Comes the Father’s holy breath
 A                      D
Ridin’ on a storm with tender fierceness
Bm          A       E   F#m
Stirring my soul to holiness
D           A       E      A
Stirring my soul to holiness
