For These Times
Martina McBride

Intro: D-G-D
D
In these times in which we live
Where the worst of what we live
         G                                D
Is laid out for all the world on the front page
And the sound of someone's heartbreak
Is a soundbite at the news break
              G                                   D
With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face
                          G
Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye
     Cm       Bb
And stops to pray
                             D
For these times in which we live

D
In these most uncertain hours
Where the balance of power
       G                        D
Is a fight that is fought every day

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



And freedom is a word
Some cry out and some whisper
     G                              D
And some are just too quick to give away
                         G
Blessed be the one who stands by the one
        Cm     Bb
On the battle line
                             D 
For these times in which we live

      Fm  G    Cm            Bm
Well give me a heart full of tender mercy
     G  Cm      Fm   G
And arms I will open wide

D
For these times in which we live
Seems like the only answer is
  G                        D 
Givin' up on findin' one at all
And we hide behind unsure
Pull the blinds and lock the doors
     G                             D
And hang a pleasant picture on the wall
                                   G            
Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer
         Cm             Bb
And the only breath of life
                             D
For these times in which we live

      Fm  G    Cm            Bm
Well give me a heart full of tender mercy
     G  Cm      Fm   G
And arms I will open wide
Fm    D  G  Cm            Bb         G
Yeah give me words full of loving kindness
           Cm       Fm        G  
And hands ready to hold up a light
                             D
For these times in which we live
           G                D 
For these times in which we live
