Am

All night I've wrestled Jacob's angel,

Prayed with Matthew, Luke, and John.

Struggling to find the words to face the task

G Am

That comes up the blood red dawn.

I've buried men before their time -

Alcohol, blackened lung

But how to bury seven of these Appalachian miner's sons

G

Who stormed the beaches wave on wave,

Then sailed home to these rocky graves

Am

In family plots, that bear their name.

C G Dm Am

- Tomorrow I'll walk up seven hillsides

C G Dm Am

And tremble before my flock on seven hillsides.

F G Am G F

Seven sorrows, seven sons, seven mothers and everyone

Will turn to me for the word of God, what does this mean?

G

And there I'll stand, good book in hand

F

Shepherd to these precious lambs,

Dm ? G Am

What will I say, what will I say, what can I say? -

Am

To tell the truth, I never though much

About the will of God before.

When called to preach at seventeen,

G Am

I was in love with firey words and not much more.

But the time has come to keep the faith

For other shattered by their loss

And remind them of a loving God

Whose son, like theirs, paid the cost,

G

To save a sad and wicked world -

Through sacrifice our love is heard

Am

And I'll pray I believe those words.

- REPEAT CHORUS - 2X
