Intro: E Esus E Esus
E
When my world becomes a desert
Bsus B
Like an endless sea of sand

For if love is light, You're brighter than the day
G D A E A E
Jesus, You can turn my mourning into dancing
F#m F#m/E F#m/Eb Bsus B
For the beauty of Your Word to me is music when I

F#m E/G# B
All I have to do
F#m E/G# B
All I have to do
