In the Brightness

[Intro]
A E/A A E/A

[Verse 1]
A E/A
In the brightness of the dreaming,
A E/A
Freedom dances in my soul.
A E/A
This is God alive, redeeming,
D E F#m F#m/E
Dreaming me into a whole,
D Esus4 E
The best I can be.
A E/A
Lord, it’s in the darkness of the yearning
A E/A
Where I fear to give you all,
A E/A
Knowing that the fire that’s burning
D E F#m F#m/E
Burns away even the core.
D Esus4 E
I no longer see.

[Chorus]
F#m F#m/E D Esus4 E
Take this life you’ve given me,
F#m F#m/E D E
Take this soul that wants to be free,
F#m E A E
Take my heart and dream your God dreams,
G D Esus4 E
Recreate lovingly.

[Verse 2]
A E/A
In the dimness of the knowing,
A E/A
Who would brave to take the path?
A E/A
Yet you beckon on, bestowing,
D E F#m F#m/E
Courage where I’m faint of heart.
D Esus4 E
Lord, help me believe.
A E/A
For it’s in the fullness of the dying
A E/A
That I find that loss is love.
A E/A
Sometimes in the midst or crying,
D E F#m F#m/E
Help me remember the dove,
D Esus4 E
Your hope to receive.

[Coda]
A E/A
In the brightness of the dreaming,
A E/A
Freedom dances in my soul,
A E/A
This is God, alive, redeeming,
D E F#m F#m/E
Dreaming me into a whole,
D E Asus4 A
Dreaming me into a whole.
