[Intro]
Em G D
Em C D
[Verse]
Em D
It was thirty days til Easter when the
G Em
elm tree hit the church
Em D G
Thank God it fell on Friday cause at least
Em
no one was hurt
Em D
But there was fear it might delay the
G
second coming of the Lord
C G
Cause the stained glass crucifixion was in
D Em
stains upon the floor
[Verse]
Em D
They spent a day of cleaning and a
G Em
day to board the hole
Em D
Where the stained glass once had cast a
G Em
godly light upon the fold
Em D
But come the Sunday service all
G
the faces now were gray
C G
And they commenced to take donations as the
D Em
faithful knelt to pray
[Verse]
Em D
But on Monday they discovered that the
G Em
man who’d built the glass
Em D
Was the only man in town who could and
G Em
sadly he had passed
Em D
But his father who was ninety said
G
the tools were in the shed
C G
And he’d kindly try and resurrect the
D Em
window from the dead
[Verse]
Em D
The congregation argued but the
G Em
wise ones all rejoiced
Em D
Cause in the one hand was solution,
G Em
in the other was no choice
Em D
So they gave the man their blessing and
G
they gave his hand a shake
C G
And they gave him all the coins they had
D Em
collected on their plates
[Verse]
Em D
It was seven days til Easter and
G Em
they’d seen neither hide nor hair
Em D
So they came and knocked at supper time in
G Em
hopes the man was there
Em D
But a banging from the basement was
G
‘bout all that they could hear
C G
And curses that might make the
D Em
devil blush and wash his ears
[Verse]
Em D
Come first thing Easter morning and to
G Em
everyone’s good grace
Em D
The man was up on ladders with
G Em
the window nailed in place
Em D
It was covered in black velvet like a
G
hood or like a veil
C G
He pulled the sheet and there it
D Em
hung apocryphal and frail
[Verse]
Em D
The seams had melted jagged,
G Em
they were crooked like a spine
Em D
The glass was rough like hands of man
G Em
against the hands of time
Em D
There were bloodstains in the red and
G
there were teardrops in the blue
C G
He said: It may not be the best but
D Em
it’s the best that I can do
[Verse]
Em D
The chapel fell to silence,
G Em
it was more than just surprise
Em D
As the monstrosity of color slid
G Em
its tongue across their eyes
Em D
And they shivered from exposure like
G
babies born again
C G
Cause in every pane of glass was
D Em
all the joy and pain of Man
[Verse]
Em D
There was every fearful smile,
G Em
there was every joyful tear
Em D
There was each and every choice that leads
G Em
from every there to here
Em D
There was every cozy stranger and there was
G Em
every awkward friend
C G
And there was every perfect night that’s left
D Em
initials in the sand
[Verse]
Em D
There was every day that’s filled so full the
G Em
weeks would float away
Em D
And there were all those days spent wondering
G Em
what to do with all those days
Em D
There was every lie that’s ever saved
G Â Em
the truth from being shamed
C G
And every secret you could ever trust a
D Em
friend to hide away
[Verse]
Em D
There was the fortune of discovering a
G Em
new face you might adore
Em D
And the thrill of coming home to
G Em
find her clothes upon the floor
Em D
And the prideful immortality of
G Em
children in the home
C G
That the storm can’t grind the mountain down,
D Em
it can only shift the stones
[Verse]
Em D
And there was everything your mouth says that
G Em
your lips don’t understand
Em D
And every shape inside your head that
G Em
you can’t carve with your hands
Em D G
And every slice of glass revealed another
Em
slice of life
C G D
Emblazoned imperfections in a perfect
Em
stream of light
[Bridge]
C G
It all flooded through the window like
Em C
rapids made of fire
Em D
And then God rode through on sunshine and
Em
sat down cause he was tired
D
He was tired.
[Verse]
Em D
As the thunder and the hardwood
G Em
settled back into its place
Em D
God removed his veil to show the
G Em
scars across his face
Em D
And some folks prayed in reverence and
G
some folks prayed in fear
C G
As all the shades and chaos in the
D Em
glass became a mirror
