[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

[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

Everywhere is holy ground to You
