Verse 1:
 
D    D/C#    Bm    A
My son, My son, why are you striving,

G    D/F#    Em   A
You can't add one thing to what's been done for you,

D    D/C#    Bm    A
I did it all while I was dying,

G    D/F#    Em   A
Rest in your faith, my peace will come to you.


Chorus:

                   G   D/F#  Em    D  D/C#  Bm           
For when I hear the praises start, I want to rain upon you,
 
                   G   D/F#  Em    D  D/C#  Bm
Blessings that will fill your heart, I see no stain upon you,

                   G   D/F#  Em    D  D/C#  Bm
Because you are My child and you know me, to Me you're only holy,
  
                    E    G
Nothing that you've done remains, only what you do for Me.

Verse 2:
My child, My child, why are you weeping,
You will not have to wait forever,
That day and that hour is in My keeping,
The day I'll bring you into Heaven.
