10  Father Into Your Hands I Commend My Spirit  ( Luke 23. 44-49)

(or 4th capo G guitar)

 

   B5

 

    B                 F#/A#

    It was noon

                           G#m

   When darkness came upon the land,

            C#m                 C#m/B        F#

   And everything was gloomy until three

                  B       F#/A#

   Sunlight failed

            G#m

   The veil was torn in two

            E

    And all around was eerie,

 

                  C#m                         F#

   And our hearts they failed us too

              E        

   As a voice came drifting

                 C#m                F#

   Softly moaning like the wind, crying:-

 

B         E/B    B  E/B                 B    E/B                          B    E/B  B  E/B  B

“Father.......            into your hands,        I commend my spirit!”

 

                  B    F#/A#

   This he said 

                           G#m

   And then we heard him breathe his last,

          C#m               C#m/B                    F#

   We heard a soldier say this was God’s Son

                         B   F#/A#

   We hung our heads,

            G#m

   And wept aloud with shame

          E     

   So sorry for the slaughter,

                 C#m                       F#

   And appalled at what we’d done.

 

                E

   Then a wind came drifting

                C#m                 F#

   Softly moaning like his voice, crying:-

 

B         E/B    B  E/B                 B    E/B                          B    E/B  B  E/B  B

“Father.......            into your hands,        I commend my spirit!”    REPEAT
