Bend (Joseph) Chords & Lyrics by Brandon Heath
Bend (Joseph)
guitar chords lyrics
Verse :
G
I am not my family tree
C
These are different leaves, you know
Em
There are miles and miles between
D
My roots and what I'm tryin' to grow
G
I am not the slave they sold
C
Nor am I royalty
Em D
worn them both The finest coat,
G
And rags that barely covered me
Chorus:
Em
But there's mercy in the soil
C
Mercy in the sun
G
Learnin' to forgive
D
What cannot be undone
Em
What was meant to harm
C
Can't harm you in the end
G
Stepped out on a limb I thought my break
D
But love said,
Em
It will only bend
C
It will only bend
Verse
G
I am not my past mistakes
C
Labeled by some place in time
Em
Nor am I a trophy case
D
Tryin' to maintain my shine
G
I have dreamed a thousand dreams
C
Watch a grain in famine grow
Em
I am not my family tree
D
I have branches of my own
Bridge:
G D
Oh, Does fate resign us too?
Em
Find shelter for our wounds
C
Beneath the battered roof of broken dreams
G D
Oh, But I will choose to stand
Em
In the shadow of Your hand
C
And see what grows when grace has sown the seed
(Slow Down Strum ) Em
C G D
Oh, oh, oh
Em
These are different leaves, you know
C G D
Oh, oh, oh
