Capo 3
C2- 000230
Em
Am I a barren temple left for newer ways
Am C
Of speaking mysteries my veils cannot contain
Em
Should I prepare to winter spend again
Am C Am-single strum
Of silent centuries' speech for only certain men
Em
What if I wait to find You've gone
Am
What if Your presence was withdrawn
Em
And I was mistaken all along
Am
To think that I could become your home
Em Am C2 C
It'd be no surprise to finally know
Em Am C2 C
I am truly alone
Em Am
D-single strum
Come death, but likely sooner I'll be alone
Em Am D-single strum
You moved your temple
Em Am D-single strum
inside our bones and it's
Em Am D-single strum
So hard to trust that You
won't move again
Em Am
C Am
For all eternity, You stood with Your Father in perfect unity
Em Am
And when You walked the earth, You only went where He led
C Am
You only spoke what He said
Em Am
So for everything You left, and all of the glory You forfeit
Em
No matter how low You were sent
Am Em Am
C2 C
You still couldn't know what it's like to be alone
Em Am C2 C
Disgraced, but You were never alone
Em Am C2 C
Betrayed, but You were never alone
Em Am C2 C
Tortured, but still never alone
Em
And nothing is worse than being alone
Am
I have been thinking hard about us trading place
Em Am
Maybe I can wear Your beauty if You put on my shame
Em
Jesus, I've been trying so hard to look like You
Am
That I almost missed the worst of what I put You through
Em
You didn't die for sins, You died covered in them
Am
A prideful, lying thief, gasping out my final breath
Em Am D-single strum
Em Am D-single strum
For that one moment
Em Am D-single strum
You looked just like me
Em Am D-single strum
Your Father left you
Em Am C2 C
And You died completely alone
Em Am C2 C
For me, You were alone
Em
You couldn't marry so He left You all alone
Am C2 C
No better promise than sympathy
Em
(You conquered death all alone)
Am C2 C
'Cause you know the deepest of all our needs
Never again, never alone
Em Am C2 C C2 (x2)
