[Verse 1]
Father Ab[G]raham
Do you remember when
You were [C]called to a land
And didn't know the way

[Verse 2]
‘Cause we are wan[G]dering
In a foreign land
We are chil[C]dren of the
Promise of the faith

[Verse 3]
And [Em]I long to find it
Can [D]you feel it, too?
That [C]the sun that's shining
Is a shadow of the truth

[Verse 4]
This is a [G]far country, [C]a far country
Not my home
[G][C]

[Verse 5]
In the dark of the [G]night
I can feel the shadows all around me
[C]Cold shadows in the
corners of my heart

[Verse 6]
But the heart of the [G]fight
Is not in the flesh but in the spirit
And the [C]spirit's got
me shaking in the dark

[Verse 7]
And I [Em]long to go there
I can [D]feel the truth
I can [C]hear the promise
Of the [G]angels of the [C]moon

[Verse 8]
This is a [G]far country, [C]a far country

[Interlude 1]
Not my home

[Verse 9]
I can see in the [Em]strip malls
and the phone calls
The flaming swords of Eden
In the [C]fast cash and the news flash
And the horn blast of war
In the [F]sin-fraught cities cities of the
dying and the dead
[Am]Like steel-wrought graveyards graveyards
where the wicked never rest
To the [Em]high and lonely mountain
in [D]the groaning wilderness
We [C]ache for what is lost
As [Am]we wait for the holy God
Of Father Ab[G]raham
[C]

[Verse 10]
I was [Em]made to [D]go there
Out of this [G]far [Em]country[Dsus4]
To [G]my [C]home, [G]to[C][G]
[C]my home
