Ode To Joy Chords & Lyrics - The Lads (new Zealand)

[VERSE 1]
[E]And the [C#m]sun is shining [B]on the hills, [A]on the hills
[E]Where [C#m]once the cold and b[B]itter frost it f[A]roze all life away
[E]And I fe[C#m]el Your Spirit [B]coming close, [A]coming close
[A]And it w[C#m]arms this aching b[B]ody, and f[A]ills me through and through
[B]Oh I n[A]eed You,[B] Lord I [A]want You,[B] Lord I o[A]pen my heart to You

[CHORUS]
[E]I sing for j[B]oy, that [C#m]You are in my l[A]ife
[E]And Your l[B]ove, it [C#m]covers me [A]
[E]And I fe[B]el the r[C#m]ushing of Your li[A]fe
[E]As Your r[B]iver, it fl[C#m]ows all over [A]me again

[VERSE 2]
[E]Oh [C#m]Jesus won't You [B]stay with me, s[A]tay with me
[E]I lon[C#m]g to have You [B]closer still and f[A]eel You by my side
[E]These e[C#m]mpty dreams that [B]we chase for, what [A]are they for
[E]I lo[C#m]ng for us to [B]know our Father's w[A]aiting, He's waiting for us
[B]Oh I ne[A]ed You,[B] Lord I [A]want You, [B]Lord I o[A]pen my heart to You

[VERSE 3]
[E] [C#m] Lord, [B]come close,[A]
[E] I [C#m]need You now [B] [A]
[E]These bi[C#m]tter chords that [B]hold me tight I [A]let them go to You
[E]Yea[C#m]h, yeah[B] , yeah [B]
[B]There's a [A]calling
[B]There's a [A]Savior coming
[B]The gates of my [A]heart are open wide

[BRIDGE]
[G]It flows all over [D/F#]me
[C]It's falling, falling [D]down all over me
