Sun and Shield
Peter Furler
Verse 1:
G#m A
Bitterness is a fault line
G#m B
Envy's a golden calf
G#m A
Idols break when it all shakes down
B E
And split your heart in half
G#m A
You weep you sweep up the pieces
G#m B
It's your home, you take pride
G#m A
But once it's clean and empty
B E
My Lord is calling you outside
Chorus:
E A
I lift up my eyes, turn to the sun
E A
This is where my help's coming from
E A
In the heights or the battle
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
Verse 2:
G#m A
And if the sun can blind you
G#m B
And if a shield means war
G#m A
And if you give up before you get up
B E
What were you praying for?
G#m A
The future's an open window
G#m B
Set in cornerstone
G#m A
Wash off the ash, raise up the banner
B E
This is your true home
Chorus (2x):
E A
I lift up my eyes, turn to the sun
E A
This is where my help's coming from
E A
In the heights or the battle
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
(sung during the bridge and twice before:)
F# A C#m
Oooooooooooooh (my Sun, my Sun, my Shield)
Bridge:
F# A
Calling you outside
C#m
Open your eyes
F# A
Calling you outside
C#m
Open your eyes
B E
Chorus:
E A
So lift up your eyes, turn to the sun
E A
This is where all help's coming from
E A
In the heights or the battlefield
F# E
He's our Sun, our Shield
E A
I lift up my eyes, turn to the sun
E A
This is where my help's coming from
E A
In the heights or the battlefield
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
