Glorious Ruins (Acoustic) - chords and lyrics

Here's another one of those songs recently searched out on my Songbook blog enough times for me to go finding out what it's all about. I quite enjoyed the acoustic version the best.
If you have the song downloaded and want to play along - then slap your capo on the 4th fret.
No capo? then the chords will still work just as well for you sing to.

Glorious Ruins (Acoustic) - chords and lyrics

Capo 4

D
When the mountains fall
            A                                Bm         G
And the tempest roars - You are with me
            D
When creation folds
           A                             Bm         G
Still my soul will soar on Your mercy
     Bm
I'll walk through the fire
            G
With my head lifted up (high)
           D                            A
And my spirit revived in Your story
             Bm
And I'll look to the cross
          G
As my failure is lost
         D                            A
In the light of Your glorious grace
                              D
Let the ruins come to life
                              G
In the beauty of Your name
                          D
Rising up from the ashes
                       A
God forever You reign
                              Bm
And my soul will find refuge
                               G
In the shadow of Your wings
                        D
I will love You forever
                      A
And forever I'll sing
              D
When the world caves in
           A                             Bm         G
Still my hope will cling to Your promise
               D
When my courage ends
           A                                   Bm         G
Let my heart find strength in Your presence
     Bm
And I'll walk through the fire
            G
With my head lifted up (high)
           D                            A
And my spirit revived in Your story
             Bm
I'll look to the cross
          G
As my failure is lost
         D                            A
In the light of Your glorious grace
                              D
Let the ruins come to life
                              G
In the beauty of Your name
                          D
Rising up from the ashes
                       A
God forever You reign
                              Bm
And my soul will find refuge
                               G
In the shadow of Your wings
                        D
I will love You forever
                      A
And forever I'll sing

Wo oh oh Oh... (repeated playing chords below)

Let the ruins come to life

In the beauty of Your name
                          D
Rising up from the ashes
                       A
God forever You reign
                              Bm
And my soul will find refuge
                               G
In the shadow of Your wings

I will love You forever
                      A
