Riff: 	//(cm7)  (Ab) (cm7) (Ab)//X2



	(cm7)                   (Ab)

	      They brought you into the night 

	(cm7)               (Ab)

	      as I was born in the light

	(cm7)                     (Ab)

	     They caught you with chains of sin 

	(cm7)            (Ab)

	     as I saw my life begin



	(cm7)                           (Ab)

	     But now the blind teach to see 

	(cm7)                    (Ab)

	     and the captives how to be free

	(cm7)                          (Ab)

	     And now the poor teach to give, 

	(cm7)                          (Ab)

	     I pray your death teach my how to live

	(fm)        (Bb)             

	When will we conceive love,  

	 (fm)                  (Bb)         Riff: 

	      and when will we heed what He calls us to?



	The Lord called you and you heard, 

	believed and you showed the world

	They tried to keep light at bay, 

	you witnessed you life away



	But now the blind teach to see 

	and the captives how to be free

	And now the poor teach to give, 

	I pray your death teach my how to live

	When will you conceive love, 

	and when will we heed what He calls us to?



	(Ab)             (Bb)              (Eb) (Bb/d) (cm) (cm/b)

	The Lord gave me everything yet so many times I fall

	(Ab)              (Bb)        (Eb)    (Bb/d)      (cm) (cm/b)

	When He gave you hardship you chose to die for His call

	(Ab)              (Bb)   (Eb)  (Bb/d)     (cm) (cm/b)

	For ever and ever towards your faith I'll strive

	(Ab)      (Bb)           (Eb)       (Bb/d)       (cm) (cm/b)

	To be His servant and to answer His call with my life

	(Ab)        (Bb)  (Ab)        (Bb) 

	Forever and ever, forever and ever...



	I wish that I could be true, 

	and have the courage to do as you

	and be a witness of Him, 

	who broke my chain and who died for my sin

	Then will we conceive love, 

	then will we receive what He calls us to.
