Dweller By A Dark Stream

written by Bruce Cockburn

G A G D

It could have been me put the thorns in your crown

G A G D

Rooted as I am in a violent ground

G A Bm

How many times have I turned your promise down

G

Still you pour out your love

A

Pour out your love

D A G

I was a dweller by a dark stream

D A G

A crying heart hooked on a dark dream

D A G

In my convict soul I saw your love gleam

G A

And you showed me what you've done

G A D

Jesus, thank-you joyous Son

G A G D

You entered a life like ours to give us back our own

G A G D

You wanted us like you, as choosers not clones

G A Bm

You offered up your flesh and death was overthrown

G A

Now salvation is ours,

Salvation is ours

G A G D

So I'm walking this prison camp world

G A G D

I long for a glimpse of the new world unfurled

G A Bm

The chrysalis cracking and moisten winds uncurl

Like in the vision John saw

The vision John saw
