"LIGHT OF YOUR LOVE"(Song of Mary Magdalene)

Intro: (Eb-Ab-Eb/G-Ab-Eb/G-Fm-Cm-Fm7-Bb)

Verse 1
I (Ebmaj7/Bb)saw how You (Ab)stooped to lift a child,(Eb/G)
(Ebmaj7/Bb)Watched how You (Ab)gently, kindly smiled.(Eb/G)
That's when I (Fm)knew how much I (Cm)wanted
(Fm7)To be (Bb)part of You. (Bbsus4)
I (Ebmaj7/G)saw how You (Ab)mended broken lives(Eb/G)
(Ebmaj7/Bb) Felt how You (Ab)cared and sympathized(Eb/G)
Saw how their (Fm)heartaches made You (Cm)cry,
And I loved(Fm7) the (Bb)heart of You.

Chorus 1
And all of my (Eb/G)hopes, my dreams, my (Ab)fears,
Seem to dis(Eb/G)solve within Your (Ab)tears,
And I (Eb/G)longed to hold You (Fm)near and tell You I (Eb/Bb)loved (Bb)You.
And all of life's (Eb/G)cruel and stinging (Ab)trials
Vanished be(Eb/G)fore Your gentle (Ab)smile.
That's when I (Gm)knew my heart's de(Csus4-C)sire
Was to (Fm7)spend my life walking (Eb/Bb)in the (Bbsus4)light of Your (Eb)love.

Verse 2
And when You (Ab)held my upturned (Eb/G)face,
Tenderly (Ab)dried my tears a(Eb)way,
All of my (Fm)past Your love (Cm)erased,
And I (Fm7)was (Bbsus4)born anew. (Bb)
Then I (Ebmaj7/G)saw what it (Ab)cost You to be (Eb)free.
I (Eb/G)wept as I (Ab)watched You die for (Eb)me. (That's when I knew)
That's when I (Fm)knew that I would (Cm)be
Fore(Fm7)ver in (Bb)love with You.

Chorus 2
And all of my (Eb/G)hopes, my dreams, my (Ab)fears, (hopes, dreams, my fears)
Seem to dis(Eb/G)solve within Your (Ab)tears,
And I (Eb/G)longed to hold You (Fm)near and tell You I (Eb/Bb)loved (Bb)You.
And all of life's (Eb/G)cruel and stinging (Ab)trials (cruel and stinging trials)
Vanished be(Eb/G)fore Your gentle (Ab)smile.
That's when I (Gm)knew my heart's de(Csus4-C)sire
Was to (Fm)spend my life walking (Eb/Bb)in the (Bbsus4)light of Your (Eb)love.
(Cm)

Bridge
And when You (Abmaj7)rose again and (Eb/G)came to me,
I knew Your (Abmaj7)love was for all e(Eb/G)ternity,
And You would (Bmaj7)come one day and (F#/A#)take me
To be with (G#m)You.

Chorus 3
And in that (E)land of no more (Asus4/E)tears,
And in that (E)time beyond all (Asus4/E)years,
You would (E)embrace me, hold me (F#)near,
And tell me You (E/B)loved (B)me.
Where all of life's (E/G#)cruel and stinging (A)trials
Vanish be(E/G#)neath Your radiant (A)smile, (Your radiant smile)
And You (G#m)fulfill my heart's de(C#sus4-C#)sire,
And I'll be (F#m)there fore(Amaj7)ver
Living (Bsus4)in the (A/B)light of Your (A)love.


Ending
(Ama7sus2)Living in the light of Your love,
The land beyond all time
Living in Your love, forever I'll be there.
