    C                                         F/C
The gold of the sunrise is chasing the dark
        C/G                            C2
A gift of new mercies awakens my heart
          Dm7                                F
The bird of the morning is singing her song

Oh thank God for this country psalm

VERSE 2:
C                                        F/C
Little feet padder the hardwoods like drums
           C/G                                     C2
And boys making noise at the top of their lungs
      Dm7                  F
Beautiful chaos shatters the calm
             Dm7      F                    G             C
But oh thank God for this country psalm

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
                  F                                 C
I’ve got so much to be grateful for

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
                    F                                 C
I’ve got so much to be grateful for
                   Am                     
I’ve got breath in this body, 
             G
and hope in these scars
              Dm7                     
If I counted my blessings, 
               F
they’d rival the stars
              Dm7                      
I’ll praise You forevermore, 
      F                         Am       G
even if I never get one more

Good food our on table, good wine in my glass
Dm7                                             G
Swing tires and bonfires and babies on laps
       Am                                            F
Grandparents dance when the fireflies turn on

Oh, thank God for this country psalm

BRIDGE:
Dm7                               
Between the letting go, 
       F
desperately holding on
    C                           
Help me remember 
                  G
that You’re where my heart belongs
            Dm7                     F
A moment of clarity, creation’s symphony
        Am                         G
What can I do but respond

and hope in these scars

OUTRO:
              C                                      F/C
The moon’s on the rise and the river, she runs
    C/G                                C2
All I can say is, “Lord, thy will be done”
       Am                                 F
I pull her in closer as we pray for the dawn

God bless this mess and this country psalm
