Singing Is Praying Twice©10/29/2013 Jody Healy

Capo to C
D7 G (Em) A7 D7
Come home, come home, ye who are weary come home
G C G Em C G D7 C G
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling oh sinners come home.
G C G
The little white church on the corner
Em A7 D7
Every Sunday rain or shine
G C G
We dressed up in our finest
C D7 G
For our date with the divine.
G C G
One Christmas I was the angel
Em A7 D7
Singing from the top of the tree
G C G
I thought I was in God’s choir
C D7 G
For one moment I was free.
Chorus
Am7 Bm7 Em
I don’t miss, being called a sinner
Am7 D G
I don’t miss, only one winner. Am7 Bm7 Em
I do miss, love and laughter
C D G
I do miss, faith in the here after Am7 Bm7 Em
I do miss what some people say
Am7 F C G
That singing is praying twice. (last time last line 2x)
G C G
At seventeen I was a pilgrim
Em A7 D7
A seeker on a journey new
G C G
I prayed at Machu Pichu
C D7 G
Like many others do.
G C G
I sat in Kali temples
Em A7 D7
Prayed at Buddha’s feet
G C G
Walked round sacred mountains
C D7 G
Knelt on holy streets. . . Chorus
G C G
Made war with my dragons
Em A7 D7
Stared in the face of my fears.
G C G
I still believe in spirit
C D7 G
After these many long years.
G C G
Laid down my ancient burdens
Em A7 D7
Returned home with my truth,
G C G
I finally can say I’m grateful
C D7 G
For the cornerstone of my youth . . . Chorus
