Surrender It All

Tune: E A B E B E
(Tune: D A D G A D)

E5  Bsus4   A9   A9
(D   A/E       G₁   G₁)
I call to you softly in my hour of need

And I make my offerings to the flame

In times in life like these when I am driven to my knees

I bring my fears to you through the flame

A9/C#         E5    A9            A9
(Gsus2/F#   D    Gsus2/B  Gsus2/B)
In a world that leaves me cold and alone

I hear you through the flames as you call me your own

E5  Bsus4   A9   A9
(D   A/E       G₁   G₁)
As the darkness falls and the shadows descend

And the silence greets me like an old friend

The light upon my shrine is my beacon of hope

And the silence fills with the voices of my Gods

A9/C#         E5    A9            A9
(Gsus2/F#   D    Gsus2/B  Gsus2/B)
“Through your good deeds and your offerings

You have given of yourself completely

Let us come to you in your hour of need

Give us all that you are suffering”

C#m7   Bsus4    A9   A9
(Bm7   A/E    G₁   G₁)
So I surrender myself

I relinquish control

I surrender it all and

Let the Kindreds make me whole

A9/C#         E5     A9             A9
(Gsus2/F#   D    Gsus2/B  Gsus2/B)
Make me whole, make me whole, make me whole (2X)

E5  Bsus4   A9   A9
(D   A/E       G₁   G₁)
When our voices resound in the Well

When our roots run deep with our branches overhead

When our fires of piety

Light up the sky and we

Pour out our offerings

Unto the Kindreds Three

We give our gifts and in *ghosti they receive

A9/C#         E5    A9           A9
(Gsus2/F#   D    Gsus2/B  Gsus2/B)
When we call forth the Blessing

The Kindreds have for you and for me

We must open up our hearts to receive

What they wish to give so freely

C#m7   Bsus4    A9   A9
(Bm7    A/E         G₁   G₁)
So we surrender ourselves

We relinquish control

We surrender it all and

Let the Kindreds Bless us all

A9/C#         E5    A9             A9
(Gsus2/F#   D    Gsus2/B  Gsus2/B)
Bless us all, bless us all, bless us all (twice)

C#m7   Bsus4    A9   A9 (Four times/Vamp)
(Bm7     A/E       G₁   G₁)

E5  Bsus4   A9   A9
(D   A/E       G₁   G₁)
I call to you softly in my hour of need

And I make my offerings to the flame
