Lyrics

A (Eb)rest less gen er a tion, we’re (Fm)turn ing o ver ev ’ry stone,

(Ab)hop ing to find sal va tion in a (Cm)world that’s left us cold.

Can we (Eb)get back to the al tar, back to the (Fm)arms of our first love?

There’s on ly (Ab)one way to the Fa ther, and He’s (Cm)call ing out to us.

To the cap tive it looks like free dom, to the or phan it feels like (Eb)home.

To the skep tic it might sound cra zy to be lieve in a God who (Eb)loves.

In a world where our hearts are break ing, and we’re lost in the mess we’ve (Eb)made, like a blind ing light in the dead of night, it’s the Gos pel, the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the (Eb)cure for our con di tion, it’s the (Fm)Good News for us all.

It’s (Ab)great er than re lig ion, it’s the (Cm)pow er of the cross.

So, can we (Eb)get back to the al tar, back to the (Fm)arms of our first love?

There’s on ly (Ab)one way to the Fa ther, and He’s (Cm)call ing out to us.

To the cap It’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

The amazing news of the Gospel is not that we can receive Jesus into our lives,

In my own life it means for give ness when I know I de serve the (Eb)fall.

It (Abmaj7)called me out of my dark ness and car ried me to the (Eb)cross.

In a mo ment my eyes were o pened, in that mo ment my heart was (Eb)changed.

Like a blind ing light in the dead of night, it’s the Gos pel.

Oh, to the cap tive it looks like free dom, to the or phan it feels like (Eb)home.

Yeah, to the skep tic it might sound cra zy to be lieve in a God who (Eb)loves.

In a world where our hearts are break ing, and we’re lost in the mess we’ve (Eb)made, like a blind ing light in the dead of night, it’s the Gos pel, the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

Oh, (Fm)oh, it’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the Gos pel, the Gos pel that (Bbsus)makes a way.
