Long Lonely Night

     Em
This old wooden cross
Am                   Em
Bolted together from rough four-by-fours
     Am                       D
That they would remember your pain
Em
Leaning against
    Am                        Em
The side of the building with benches and tables
    Am                      D
Too big for the dumpster to carry away
Em                      Am
Water runs down all the folds of my raincoat
   Em                    D
As I kneel beside you to pray

        C                         Em
    And sometimes I feel like I'm waiting with you
            G                        Em
    On that long lonely night in the garden
        C                     Bm             G     G7
    And sometimes I know that I have fallen asleep
    C                        Em
    Sometimes I fear that in following you
           G                          Em
    I will lose all the things that I strive for
        C                      Am                   D
    But when I am with you I'm willing to lose everything

This chapel once built
To be filled with your praises and lit with your light
Is now cold and dark as a tomb
I speak out my prayers
To shatter the silence and drive out the dust
And to frighten the shadows that loom
They hide all the crosses out back in the hallway
When ungodly men use this room

On midnight patrol
As I walk through the camp I am talking with you
And I stop by each cabin and pray as I go
And it seems strange to me
That we spend our days here in service to you
But when I am praying I'm praying alone.
The cross that they raised rotted through at the base
And it toppled down not long ago

    C                      D                    G
    When I am with you I'm willing to lose everything
