Lyrics and Chords

 

Thoughts (When I’m Alone)   From the album, ‘Stir into Flame’

That’s exactly what this song is about:- thoughts.  . . thoughts about social injustice, and all those less fortunate than us,

and Christian faith. Chris.

 

Intro: Am . . . .

 

Am                                      Dm

When I’m alone, and my thoughts are milling round,

                  G                    E7                            Am

I think of Him, and the love my friends have found.

                                       Dm

I think of peace, and of wars that never end,

                           G                  E7                 Am

and of the suffering, and the pain, I long to end.

 

Chorus:

                   F  

How will I know, when He’s right here beside me,

             G                                 E7                         Am

and His love is shining out and pouring through my soul?

                   F                                                                G

How will I feel, when I can look into the faces of my loved ones,

                       E7                      Am

and knowingly say  - that He is real?

 

I think of prisons, the lonely faces that look out,

into a world full of hatred, greed and doubt.

I see the children, and their starving eyes that gaze

back into mine, where they mirror -  only pain.

 

Chorus

 

Vocalist: Margaret Scott
