Intro  C  G  


Verse 1

G
Living life on the ragged edge
           Am   Bm                 C
I spend my day trying to buy some time
G
Weeks fly by as I move ahead
                      Bm               C    D
Got to make it happen while I'm in my prime
       Em        Bm   C           G     F
But it all comes to a halt when I steal away
C     Em   Bm     C
And I lie in the meek
        G      F
In the secret place 

Chorus 1

G                 C
where time stands still
                 G
Where the empty fills
        Am          Bm
And the weary finds strength
         F
To walk through this strain
Bm                    C
Where the time stands still
                  G
Where the wounded heal
          Am            G      D       C    F
There's a place that is only a prayer away
                    G
(Where time stands still)

Verse 2

G
I go there in my solitude
                      Bm              C   
I find myself feeling glad to be with Him
  G 
I close my eyes and I turn my thoughts
                     Bm              C     D
And my Father's arms embrace me once again
      Em      Bm     C              G       F
I can see the deeper meaning of my fleeting days
D    Em    D      C            G     F    G
Come alive in my heart as I am swept away

Where time stands still
