Ok, now that all formalities are aside, here's how to play this song.

There's a mandolin in this song, but hey, let's face it, how many of your

buddies play the mandolin, so I've arranged this for two guitars.  Ok,

capo this first guitar on the fifth fret and leave the other guitar open.

I haven't been able to try it with both as of yet, but both parts sound

good when they are played by themself, so I figure that both together

would give it a nice full sound.  

Here goes:



CAPO AT 5:

INTO:		|-------3------|

(all tab	|-0--------0h1-|

relative	|--------------|

to capo)	|----0-----0h2-|

		|--------------|

		|-3------------|  PLAY, THEN REPEAT  3x



Now, the picking pattern in this song is really easy, and seeing as how it

would take me forever to tab out the entire song, I'll let you figure it out

yourself.  Just try to so it fingerstyle cause with a pick it's kinda

difficult.  Listen to the CD and you'll get it.  Have fun!

*capo on guitar on the 5th fret and leave another open, the chords in ()'s

at to be played open, while the other's are to be relative to the capo.



   (Am)Em   (Dm)Am  (Am)Em

Oh refuge   of my   hardened heart

   (Em)Bm  (Dm)Am  (Am)Em

Oh fast pursuing   lover come

   (G)D   (E7)B7  (Am)Em

As angels dance   around Your throne

   (C)G    (F)C     (C)G      (C/B)G/F#

My life by captured fare You own



Not silhouette of trodden faith

Nor death shall not my steps be guide

I'll pirouette upon my grave

For in Your path I'll run and hide



Chorus:

   (G)D    (Fadd9)Cadd9  (C)G  

Oh gaze of love so       melt my pride

(C/B)G/F#  (Am)Em  (Dm)Am  (G)D      (E7)B7

That       I may   in Your house but kneel

    (Am)Em  (F)C   (C)G  (F)C  (C)G

And in my   brokenness   to    cry

       (F)C    (G)D  (C)G  

Spring worship unto  Thee



When beauty breaks the spell of pain

The bludgened heart shall burst in vain

But not when love pointed king

And truth shall Thee forever reign



[Repeat Chorus]



Sweet Jesus carry me away

From cold of night and dust of day

In ragged hour or salt worn eye

Be my desire, my well spring lye



[Repeat Chorus 2x]

       (F)C    (G)D   (Am)Em

Spring worship unto  Thee

       (F)C    (G)D   (C)G

Spring worship unto  Thee
