Verse 1:
          C                                 F/C
In these times in which we live, where the worst of what we live
    F/C                                        C
Is laid out for all the world on the front page
         C                                  F/C
And the sound of someone's heartbreak is a soundbite at the news break
        F/C                                         C
With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face
C7                        F
Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye
     Am7      G                                   C    F/C
And stops to pray, for these times in which we live


Verse 2:
          C                              F/C
In these most uncertain hours where the balance of power
       F                          C
Is a fight that is fought every day
      C                         F/C
And freedom is a word, some cry out and some whisper
     F                                 C
And some are just too quick to give away
C7                       F
Blessed be the one who stands by the one
        Am7      G                               C
On the battle line, for these times in which we live


Chorus 1:
      Dm7  F        Am7          G 
Well give  me a heart full of ten-der mercy
     F   Am7     Dm7   F
And arms I will open wide


Verse 3:
            C                                   F/C
For these times in which we live seems like the only answer is
 F                            C
Givin' up on findin' one at all
        C                            F/C
And we hide behind unsure, pull the blinds and lock the doors
     F                               C
And hang a pleasant picture on the wall
C7                                  F
Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer
        Am7              G                                   C
And the only breath of life, for these times in which we live


Chorus 2:
      Dm7  F        Am7          G 
Well give  me a heart  full of ten-der mercy
     F   Am7     Dm7   F
And arms I will open wide
      Dm7   F  Am7            G 
Yeah, give me words full of loving kindness
     F     Am7      Dm7        F
And hands ready to hold up a light
                               C   F/C
For these times in which we live
                               C   F/C
For these times in which we live


Ad-lib with outro:
C                 F/C      C      F/C
  Blessed be the child oh-oh
C                F/C                C     F/C
Yea-yea-yea-yea-yeah-ah, for these times
      C         F/C                C    F/C
Everybody just stop and pray, yea-yeah
C
  For these times in which we live.
