Darkest Hour Just Before Dawn(Chords)

	        C                 F 
The sun is slowly sinking  

    C      G7     C 
The day is almost gone  

C                    F 
Still darkness falls around us  

    C       G7      C 
And we must journey on  



    F               C 
The darkest hour is just before dawn 
  
C                    G7 
The narrow way leads home 
  
    C                 F      C 
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet 
  
C                   G7          C 
The darkest hour is just before dawn 



C                          F 
Like a shepherd out on the mountain  

  C            G7           C 
A watching the sheep down below 
  
C                   F 
He's coming back to claim us 
  
     C      G7       C 
Will you be ready to go
