Prayer Of Augustine Cifras

[Intro]
| G /// | C /// | G /// | C / D / |
 
[Verse 1]
G        D          Am
O Beauty ancient, O Beauty so new
C                           G         D
Late have I loved Thee and feebly yet do
Em                            D
Though You were with me I was not with You
     C                        G      C       D    C / D /
Then You Shone Your face, and I was blind no more
 
[Chorus]
G  D          C           D
My heart searches restlessly
     Em      C            G        D
And finds no rest till it rests in Thee
G   D      C             D
O Seeker, You sought for me
     Em         C
Your Love has found me
G     D        G
I am taken by Thee
 
| C /// | G /// | C / D / |
 
[Verse 2]
G             D                    Am
I sought this world and chased its finer things
C                                G            D
Yet were these not in You they would not have been
Em                           D
My ceaseless longing hid the deeper truth
   C                 G     C        D    C / D /
In all my desirings, I was desiring You
 
[Chorus]
G  D          C           D
My heart searches restlessly
     Em      C            G        D
And finds no rest till it rests in Thee
G   D      C             D
O Seeker, You sought for me
     Em         C
Your Love has found me
G     D        G
I am taken by Thee
 
[Verse 3]
G          D                   Am
Lord in my deafness You cried out to me
C                              G           D
I drew my breath and now Your fragrance I breathe
Em                          D
O Fount of Life, You are forever the same
  C              G       C    D     C / D /
O Fire of love, come set me aflame
 
[Chorus]
G  D          C           D
My heart searches restlessly
     Em      C            G        D
And finds no rest till it rests in Thee
G   D      C             D
O Seeker, You sought for me
     Em         C
Your Love has found me
G     D        G
I am taken by Thee
