Verse 1
 
G                           D 
Praise the mountain and the rain   
                          C 
All the gifts that still remain 
G                        D 
But the greatest gift of all   
                      C 
And the law above all laws 
 
Chorus
 
      G         F           C 
Is to love your friends and lovers   
       G         F             C 
To lay down Your life for your brothers   
       G   F     C 
As you abi-de in peace   
             G   F    C 
So will your del-ight increase   
 
Verse 2
 
G                     D 
As the mystery of the Cross 
                     C 
Asa Lovejoy lost the toss 
G                      D 
In the fountain in the rain   
                        C 
Where my sorrow still remains 
 
Chorus
     G         F           C 
So I run to my friends and lovers 
  G           F           C   
I lay down my life for my brothers 
     G   F     C 
As I abi-de in peace  
           G   F    C 
So will my del-ight increase
