A Still Small Voice

Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb Cm Eb In a still small voice in the middle of the night Ab Eb Brother Martin heard the simple truth Cm Eb And he followed its pleading though it led to a crossroads Ab Bb Parting in the days of my youth Cm Eb From the heart of my city came a single scream Ab F And I heard it through all the white noise Eb And the papers told me that they'd killed the dream Ab Bb Eb But they never killed the still small voice Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb Cm Eb All the lies come at you in a million ways Ab Eb Some you hear and some you tell yourself Cm Eb And they say that virtue is a pile of gold Ab Bb And that weapons are a nation's wealth Cm Eb But when kings stand naked in their ugly schemes Ab F Will the poor of this world rejoice? Eb Will they sell their children down a bloody stream Ab Bb Eb Or will they listen to a still small voice? Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb Cm Eb Now the one-eyed bandit in your living room Ab Eb Will convince you that you have no time Cm Eb It will swear to take you on your one free ride Ab Bb While it's looking for your last dime Cm Eb But the light of heaven is a simple gift Ab F You can see it when you make that choice Eb It will shine like riches in your inmost heart Ab Bb Eb But it will speak in a still small voice. Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb Cm Eb Oh the sky will open when the trumpet sounds Ab Eb And the thunder will shake these walls Cm Eb And these stones so silent as they ring us 'round Ab Bb They will shatter when they hear that call Cm Eb And these chains will clatter when they hit the ground Ab F And the people make a joyful noise Eb But when my Lover comes to call me home Ab Bb Eb It will be in a still small voice.
