You Lay Down

G#m C#m G#m C#m B B/A# In a garden of thorns my Rose of Sharon C#m F# Bleeds till she’s the color of the moonlight B B/A# And the angels wrap her in their feathered arms C#m F# But they cannot conceal her from the darkest night C#m F# And you didn’t say a word when they accused you C#m F# You did not fight back when the whole world used you B B/A# When hate was crowned king and love was diminished D# G#m You stood meek as a lamb there without blemish C#m F# And they laughed when you cried out, "It is finished!" G#m You lay down, you lay down C#m And I’ll step upon your back G#m Up high above, above the fence C#m D#m/A# G#m to see all the way to Glory land B B/A# Above the garden of thorns my Rose of Sharon C#m F# climbs up and clings to an old rugged tower B B/A# And though the angels offer her a thousand tears C#m F# Still she wilts in the cold flames of her darkest hour C#m F# And I lied when I said, "I never knew you" C#m F# You did not fight back when I scarred and bruised you B B/A# When hate was a king your love never diminished D# G#m You stood meek as a lamb there without blemish C#m And we laughed when you cried out F# How we laughed when you cried out F# It is finished G#m C#m G#m C#m C#m F# You didn’t say a word when we accused you C#m F# You did not fight back when the whole world used you B B/A# When hate was crowned king your love never diminished D# G#m You stood meek as a lamb there without blemish C#m And we laughed when you cried out F# It is finished G#m So you lay down, you lay down C#m And I’ll step upon your back G#m Up high above, above the fence C#m D#m/A# G#m to see all the way to Glory land C#m D#m/A# G#m to see all the way to Glory land C#m D#m/A# G#m to see all the way to Glory land
