Without Running Away Teclado

	       C 
I've spent some days looking for a length of rope 
      Am 
And a place to hang it from the end of my hope 
            F                                                 C 
But where I thought hope had ended I always find a little bit more 

     C 
It's not like I'm trying to be optimistic 
       Am 
If the truth be told I'd rather dismiss it 
       F                                            C       G 
And be free of the burden of the living that hoping requires 

   F        C 
To bring my heart 
   Am    G 
To every day 
    C                          F 
And run the risk of fearlessly loving 
                C 
Without running away 

C 
Jesus is speaking but it's so hard to hear 
     Am 
When disciples with swords are cutting off ears 
F                                              C   G 
Broken and bleeding I'm waiting for healing to come 

    C 
But wounded's a part that I've learned to play well 
           Am 
Though the wound may run deeper than I know how to tell 
      F                                        C 
Where pain's an addiction that keeps me buried alive 
              F                                      C     G 
But when it's all that I know I'm afraid to leave it behind 

    F        C 
And bring my heart 
   Am    G 
To every day 
    C                          F 
And run the risk of fearlessly loving 
                C 
Without running away 

   Am                  F 
My heart is not lifted up 
   C                   G 
My eyes are not lifted up 
    Am       F           C   G 
But calm and quiet is my soul 
       Am             F            C   G 
Like a child with its mother is my soul 

        C 
After a while in the dark your eyes will adjust 
       Am 
In the shadows you'll find the hand you can trust 
        F                                            C 
And the still small voice that calls like the rising sun 
G 
Come 

    F          C 
And bring your heart 
   Am    G 
To every day 
C                          F 
Run the risk of fearlessly loving 
                Am  G 
Without running away 
         Am                         F 
You must run the risk of fearlessly loving 
                G 
Without running away
