The Altar
© December 24, 2012 Stan Loh
Verse 1
A
I slid from your altar,
F#m
And I stumbled and fell,
A
But you came a-running,
C#m D
With a drink from your well,
Dm
Thought I saw a smile on your face,
A F#
When I hurt from my hell,
D Dm
I felt your zen, I can’t pretend,
A
The warmth of your face showed me grace,
E A
That has no end.
Verse 2
A
You meditate at your altar,
F#m
Till the sun goes down,
A
Oh I’m still trapped in tangles,
C#m D
But you won’t let me drown,
Dm
With your prayers of compassion,
A F#
There’s silence in your sound,
D Dm
I felt your zen, I can’t pretend,
A
The warmth of your face showed me grace,
E A
That has no end.
Bridge
G A
Can’t climb over high fences, it’s my disgrace,
G E A G7 C A
The glow from your altar has all your grace,
Verse 3
A
My inside is on fire,
F#m
But the dark endures,
A
Can’t forsake my desire,
C#m D
Of my being impure,
Dm
This foolish mind just can’t bend,
A F#
It’s useless I won’t mend,
D Dm
I felt your zen, I can’t pretend,
A
The warmth of your face showed me grace,
E A
That has no end.
Very Nice!!!!
