Before this world

Bm - G - A

D A G A

1. Before this world was as we know it now,

D Bm G A

before the land and sea were formed at all.

D D7 G A

Before the stars were made to burn and shine,

Bm Em - G A - A7

little love of mine, darling one.

D A G A

2. Who can pretend to understand at all,

D Bm G A

no one can both inside and outside be.

D D7 G A

Who can suppose he knows the way this grows,

Bm Em - G A - A7

oh, little lamb, never mind.

D A G A

3. So let us love and let us not delay,

D Bm G A

the world is old and it will never last.

D D7 G A

Our share of joy is in this moment past.

Bm Em - G A - A7

Will you come away, come away ?

D A G A

4. Fall into Jesus, baby child,

D Bm G A

give up the love that takes and breaks your heart.

D D7 G A

Let go the weight of all that holds you here,

Bm Em - G A - A7

little love of mine, darling one.
