G | G | G | G 

[VERSE 1]
G
  I thought I was separated
And bound by the ways within
But though my eyes from before were jaded
Hallelujah I can see again
Through Jesus the resurrected 
And the sound of a rolling stone
I’m forever living in Your presence
Cause through His blood all has been atoned

[CHORUS 1]
D   Em   C
Oh, oh,  oh   I know the veil was torn
                             Em C G
‘Cause I feel You everywhere                    
                                                Em C G
On any road I roam You promise to meet me there
              Em      C     G
Your presence is life to my bones
                   Em  C   G
Oh, it’s in the air
           Em      C      G
I know the veil was torn ‘cause I feel You everywhere

[TAG 1]
Em   C      G
      Yeah,   I feel You everywhere
[VERSE 2]
Em   C   G                               
           Now we don’t have to build You temples
Em   C   G
           And we don’t have to work so hard
Em   C   G                                  Em     C
          ‘Cause all You ever wanted was communion
G 
At the altar that’s inside our hearts
Em   C   G                         Em        C
           It’s never been about a building
G
  The pulpit or even the pews
Em   C   G                                         Em       C
           ‘Cause when it comes to being with Your children
G
Everywhere is holy ground to You
