Dweller By A Dark Stream
written by Bruce Cockburn
G A G D
It could have been me put the thorns in your crown
G A G D
Rooted as I am in a violent ground
G A Bm
How many times have I turned your promise down
G
Still you pour out your love
A
Pour out your love
D A G
I was a dweller by a dark stream
D A G
A crying heart hooked on a dark dream
D A G
In my convict soul I saw your love gleam
G A
And you showed me what you've done
G A D
Jesus, thank-you joyous Son
G A G D
You entered a life like ours to give us back our own
G A G D
You wanted us like you, as choosers not clones
G A Bm
You offered up your flesh and death was overthrown
G A
Now salvation is ours,
Salvation is ours
G A G D
So I'm walking this prison camp world
G A G D
I long for a glimpse of the new world unfurled
G A Bm
The chrysalis cracking and moisten winds uncurl
Like in the vision John saw
The vision John saw
