Fernando Ortega - Prayer For Home

      [Intro]
C2

[Verse 1]
           C2          G/B               C2
Grant them peace, most precious gift of all
                 F2    C/E          Dm7
Keep the worried world far away and small
G7               C2                 C/E           F2
  When they return,    may quiet fill their souls,
A/C#            Dm2            G7sus              C2
    Dearest Lord, keep them safe within it's walls.


[Verse 2]
           C2    G/B                   C2
May the stone be cool beneath their feet.
    F2             C/E             Dm7
The canyon breezes circle soft and sweet
G7               C2                   C/E      F2
   When darkness falls, the stars and opal moon
A/C#            Dm2            G7sus         C2
   Find them wrapped in each other, ever warm.


[Chorus]
       G/B  Am     F               C2
May it be a refuge   for their love,
G/B  Am     F                      C2
   A harbor  for their deepest prayers.
  G/B    Am          F                 C2
May they come to flourish in the grove,
     Dm7   F     F/G     C2
Grow ever nearer to  You there.


[Verse 3]
          C2           G/B                C2
Many a burdened friend in their company rises,
  F2             C/E              Dm7
A heavy heart is soon released to fly.
G/B                    C2                      C/E      F2
   May their table be blessed with laughter and with grace
A/C#            Dm2              G7sus             C2
   And by the com - fort of kin - ship be surprised.


[Chorus]
       G/B  Am     F               C2
May it be a refuge   for their love,
G/B  Am     F                      C2
   A harbor  for their deepest prayers.
  G/B    Am          F                 C2
May they come to flourish in the grove,
     Dm7   F     F/G     C2
Grow ever nearer to  You there.

[Verse 4]
          C2           G7/D                    C2
May the cold wind blow far from their front door
        F            C/E                 Dm
May the winter rains never bring them harm
G/B               C2                  C/E         F2
   May their hearth fires burn throughout the night
A/C#             Dm2            G7sus              C2
   Grant them sleep   until morning's perfect light.


[Chorus]
       G/B  Am     F               C2
May it be a refuge   for their love,
G/B  Am     F                      C2
   A harbor  for their deepest prayers.
  G/B    Am          F                 C2
May they come to flourish in the grove,
     Dm7   F     F/G     C2
Grow ever nearer to  You there.
