Shadows (CHORDS) by Sarah Gerstenberg
[Intro]~
Cm Bb Ab
Cm Bb Ab
[Verse 1]~
Gm Dm
This earth’s a shadow, it won’t last
Gm Dm
Like every flower it will pass
Cm Bb
And the sky will be rolled up someday
F/C Cm
and put away
Gm Cm
Like an old worn-out garment
Bb Ab
They will perish and be changed
Gm Eb
Every fearfully tall mountain
Cm F
Will vanish from its place
[Chorus]~
Eb Ab
[But]~ Your throne Oh God
Eb Bb
Is forever and ever
Eb Ab
And your kingdom Oh God
Eb Bb
Stands on steady righteousness
Eb Ab
Though You laid earthly foundations
Cm Eb
They’ll pass to herald your new creation
Ab Eb
You’re doing a new thing
Bb
In us
Cm Bb Ab
Through Your righteousness
[Verse 2]~
Gm Dm
Even sun and moon and stars
Gm Dm
Will be burned up where they are
Cm Bb
Their magnitude is nothing when it
F/C Cm
stands against Your hand
Gm Cm
And with a mighty thundering roar
Bb Ab
The façade will dissolve that is the world
Gm Eb
And we’ll be aware – our eyes wide open
Cm F
That we’re naked before You
[Chorus]~
Eb Ab
[But]~ Your throne Oh God
Eb Bb
Is forever and ever
Eb Ab
And your kingdom Oh God
Eb Bb
Stands on steady righteousness
Eb Ab
Though You laid earthly foundations
Cm Eb
They’ll pass to herald your new creation
Ab Eb
You’re doing a new thing
Bb
In us
Cm Bb Ab
Through Your righteousness
[Verse 3]~
Gm Dm
[Lord]~ we hasten on this day
Gm Dm
Of Your coming so grand and plain
Cm Bb
We seek to live our lives in
F/C Cm
Holiness
Gm Cm
We wait for the new heavens
Bb Ab
And the new earth you will make
Gm Eb
In which only righteousness
Cm F
dwells!
[Chorus]~
Eb Ab
[But]~ Your throne Oh God
Eb Bb
Is forever and ever
Eb Ab
And your kingdom Oh God

Stands on steady righteousness
Eb Ab
Though You laid earthly foundations
Cm Eb

Ab Eb
You’re doing a new thing
Bb

[Bridge]~
Eb Gm Bb
You work, and who can turn it back?
Ab Cm Bb
We’ll remember not the things of old
Ab Eb
Nor will we say that the former days
Gm Bb
were better
Eb Gm Bb
Christ Jesus sits at the Father’s hand
Ab Cm Bb
His work is done, the kingdom ushered in
Ab Eb
He’s made a path in the wilderness
Cm Bb
That reaches Jordan’s other shore
[Chorus]~
Eb Ab
[But]~ Your throne Oh God
Eb Bb
Is forever and ever
Eb Ab
And your kingdom Oh God
Eb Bb
Stands on steady righteousness
Eb Ab
Though You laid earthly foundations
Cm Eb
