A
I wanna make something beautiful
E
for You and from You
     A
To show You, to show You I a-
E
dore You, oh, You
A
And Your journey towards me
E
which I see and I see
A
All You push through,
E
mad for You and because of You

A
I couldn't thank You in ten thousand years
       E
If I cried ten thousand rivers of tears
       A
Ah, but You know the soul and
You know what makes it gold
E
You who give life through blood Blood,
A                                    E
blood, blood, blood, oh, blood, blood

A
Oh, I wanna make something so lovely for You
E
'Cause I promised that's what I'd do for You
          A
With the Bible I stole, I know You forgave my soul
       E
Because such was my need on a chronic Christmas Eve
     A
And I think we're agreed that it should have
been free
E
And You sang to me

                A
They dress the wounds
            D                        A      D
of My poor people as though they're nothing
         A     D
Saying, peace, peace
                 E
when there's no peace
                A
They dress the wounds
             D                       A     D
of My poor people as though they're nothing
         A           D
Saying, peace, peace, peace
                 A    D
when there's no peace

              A    D
Days without number
            A               D     A
Now can a bride forget her jewels
             D           A
or a maid her ornaments?

        D                  A D
Yet my people 'forgotten Me
              A    D
Days without number,
              A    D
days without number
              A    D
And in their want,
         A                 D
Who'll dress their wounds?
         A                 D
Who'll dress their wounds?
