Newsboys - The Orphan

Am G/B F Dm7
Am G/B C

Am G/B
maybe i push when i meant to be still
F Dm7
maybe i take it all too personal
Am G/B C
jesus , how to reconcile
Am G/B
the joyful noise , the ancient land
F Dm7
the tug from some invisible hand
Am G/B Dm7
the dying mother weaving bulrushes
F
along the nile

C G/B Am
float her basket over the sea
F G
here on a barren shore , we’ll be waiting for
C G/B Am
a tailwind to carry her orphan’s cry
F G
don’t you worry child , i wrote a lullaby

Am G/B
i try to settle , but i just pass through
F Dm7 Am
a rain dog , a gypsy , a wandering jew
G/B C
all those homes where not ours
Am G/B
then i slept one night in abraham’s field
F Dm7 Am G/B
and dreamt there was no moon the night he died
F
counting stars , selah

chorus to bridge : G

Am G Am
building you a home , building you a home
G Dm7 F
building you a home , we’re building you a home , selah

C G/B Am
float her basket over the sea
F G
here on a barren shore , we’ll be waiting for
C G/B Am
a tailwind to carry her orphan’s cry
F G
don’t you worry child , i wrote a lullaby
C G/B Am
float her basket over the sea
F G
here on a barren shore , we’ll be waiting for
C G/B Am
a tailwind to bring us your sweet cry
F G
don’t you worry child , i’m gonna sing you a lullaby
