Em D/F# G
The sun was setting over Avalon
BC D G
The last time we stood in the West
Em D/F# G
Suffering long time angels enraptured by Blake
Bm C DG
Burn out the dross, innocence captured again
Em D/F# G
Standing on the beach at sunset
BC D G
All the boats keep moving slow
Em D/F# G
In the glory of the flashing light
BC D G ED/F#
In the evening's glow
CHORUS
G C G C Em
When will I ever learn to live in God?
C G
When will I ever learn?
G C G C Em
He gives me everything I need and more
C G
When will I ever learn?
Em D/F# G
You brought it to my attention
BC D G
That everything was made in God
Em D/F# G
Down through centuries of great writings and paintings
BC D G
Everything was in God
Em D/F# G
Seen through architecture of great cathedrals
BC D G
Down through the history of time
Em D/F# G
Is and was in the beginning
BC D G
And ever more shall ever be
CHORUS

When will I ever learn to live in God?

He gives me everything I need and more

When will I ever learn?
BRIDGE
C D/F#
What ever it takes to fulfill His mission
C G
That is the way we must go
C D/F#
But you've got to do it in your way
C D
Tear down the old, bring up the new
ORGAN SOLO WITH CHORUS CHORDS
Em D/F# G
And up on the hillside it's quiet
BC D G
Where the shepherd is tending his sheep
Em D/F# G
And over the mountains and the valleys
BC D G
And the countryside is so green
Em D/F# G
Standing on the highest hill with a sense of wonder
BC D G
You can see everything is made in God
Em D/F#G
Head back down the roadside
BC D G
And give thanks for it all
