Em D/F# G
The sun was setting over Avalon
Bm C D G
The last time we stood in the West
Em D/F# G
Suffering long time angels enraptured by Blake
Bm C D G
Burn out the dross, innocence captured again
Em D/F# G
Standing on the beach at sunset
Bm C D G
All the boats keep moving slow
Em D/F# G
In the glory of the flashing light
Bm C D G D/F#Em
In the evening's glow

What ever it takes to fulfill His mission

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
Em D/F# G
And up on the hillside it's quiet
Bm C D G
Where the shepherd is tending his sheep
Em D/F# G
And over the mountains and the valleys
Bm C D G
And the countryside is so green
Em D/F# G
Standing on the highest hill with a sense of wonder
Bm C D G
You can see everything is made in God
Em D/F# G
Head back down the roadside
Bm C D G
And give thanks for it all
