Lyrics and Chords

 

There was a Time      From the album, ‘Stir into Flame’

This song is my story, before I became a Christian, and how I felt afterwards.  Avril.

 

Intro: Am

2Am                C                    G                        Am

There was a time when my heart closed its doors,

                        Dm               E7   

time when my eyes couldn’t see.

  Am                   C                       E             Am

Time when my mind said, “This just cannot be,

                           E            Am

this man is too good to be real!”

 

        Dm           G7                            C    Am

Now I see the stars, with my eyes unshuttered,

            Dm            G7                                       C  Am

I have faced my doubts, now my mind roams free.

       Dm              G                                C  Am

My voice sings out, and my feet are dancing,

       Dm    E                                    Am

my tambourine, plays its tune with joy.

 

There was a time when my ears wouldn’t listen.

Time when I just couldn’t hear.

I had everything, all I thought that I needed,

but oh, just how wrong you can be!

 

Am . . .
