[C] [G/B] [G(sus4)]
I was [C]born in ch[G/B]ains
But I was t[Am]aken out of Egypt
I was [C]bound to a burd[G/B]en
But the [Am]burden it was [G(sus4)]raised
Lord [F]I can no lon[A7]ger
Keep this s[Dm]ecret
[Bb]Blessed is the N[F]ame
The N[F#dim]ame be pra[G(sus4)]ised
I fled to the edge
Of the Mighty Sea of Sorrow
Pursued by the riders
Of a cruel and dark regime
But the waters parted
And my soul crossed over
Out of Egypt
Out of Pharaoh's dream
Word of Wo[E]rds
And M[Am]easure of all Measures
Bless[E]ed is the Name
The Name be bl[Am]essed
[F]Written on my he[Fm]art
In burning L[C]etters[(Am)]
That’s all [G#]I know
I cannot read the [G(sus4)]rest
I was idle with my soul
When I heard that you could use me
I followed very closely
My life remained the same
But then you showed me
Where you had been wounded
In every atom
Broken is the Name
I was alone on the road
Your Love was so confusing
And all my teachers told me
That I had myself to blame
But in the Grip
Of Sensual Illusion
A sweet unknowing
Unified the Name
Word of Words
I've heard the soul unfolds
In the chambers of its longing
And the bitter liquor sweetens
In the hammered cup
But all the Ladders
Of the Night have fallen
Only darkness now
To lift the Longing up
