The Promise Of God And The Father's Way

[Primeira Parte]

D  A
Hey Father, I was taught by my earthly father
D
For a long time, he showed me the way to follow
A
But hey Father, something was left behind
D
In the past, I knew exactly what to believe

A
Hey Father, I'm grateful for what he taught me
D
And because of that

I left the land of giants and returned to believe
A
But now, out there, the whole world is an island
D
Miles and miles away from anywhere

[Segunda Parte]

D  A
Hey Father, I don’t stress about it anymore
D
For a long time, that was all I could do
A
But hey Father, no matter how much we grow
D
There's always something we can't quite understand

A
That's why, Father, just wake me when the sun has set
D
I want to see Your face and Your glory at nightfall
A
Because now, out there, everyone is an island
D
Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away

[Refrão]

D
In this land of giants
A
The world where I fell and sinned for being disobedient
D
Youth is a soul
A
Seeking Your truth among the giants

D
In this land of giants
A
The world where I fell and sinned for being disobedient
D
Youth is a soul
A
Seeking Your truth among the giants

[Ponte]

D
While the world talks about numbers and statistics

Micro...minimal...calories
A
Kilowatts...terabytes

Audience ratings...tractioning on all four wheels
D
Me? What do I do with all of this?

Me? What do I do with all of this?

[Terceira Parte]

D
In seminary, wrestling with Jewish calendars

Forty days, so much history and meaning
A
After Christ, in the current calendar

I have doubts, but he teaches me
D
My father was always a scholar, always by my side

D
He taught me to believe in the Bible since I was a child

Even without understanding, I yielded to the desires of the flesh
A
I was blind to all his teachings, we lost intimacy

But I know there's still so much to learn

In terms of faith and spiritual works

D
Father, I want you to see me as a pastor before you depart

I want to live to fulfill this dream
A
So that you see God's promise fulfilled in me
