Tears And Celebrations Chords by Kathryn Jenkins, 
Andy Flannagan

[Verse 1]
        D                  G
We see tears and celebration,
       D                 A
For this life so dignified,
          D                   G
Bearing thanks and hearts of sadness,
         D         A        D
To the God of death and life.
         D                A
As he takes her to his promise,
        Em               D
Of an audience with the King,
       Bm D             G
We remember all she gave us,
            D        A       D
Wreaths of gratitude we bring.
 
[Verse 2]
        D                  G
In these days of change and trial,
       D                 A
Be the rock on which we stand,
          D                   G
When we fear in this new season,
         D         A        D
Hold us firmly in your hands.
         D                A
May we rise to her example,
        Em               D
To be humble, kind and fair,
       Bm D             G
Swift to pray and slow to anger,
            D        A       D
Choosing faith and not despair.
 
[Verse 3]
        D                  G
In the midst of coronation,
       D                 A
She once knelt in silent prayer,
          D                   G
Oil was poured in Christ’s commission,
         D         A        D
Called to lead her people there.
         D                A
May we know that same anointing,
        Em               D
Move in royal authority,
       Bm D             G
Then speak liberty and healing,
            D        A       D
To a world in need of peace.
 
[Verse 4]
        D                  G
Lord forgive, when pride and envy,
       D                 A
Leave our nation bruised and stained,
          D                   G
Turn us back towards our calling,
         D         A        D
To make your name great again.
         D                A
May we rise above divisions,
        Em               D
Lord, our brokenness we bring,
       Bm D             G
That a more united kingdom,
            D        A       D
Would give glory to the King.
 
[Verse 5]
        D                  G
When our days are at their dimming,
       D                 A
And our work on earth is done,
          D                   G
May we hear as does our sovereign,
         D         A        D
‘Faithful servant, welcome home.’
         D                A
May we rise with Christ to witness,
        Em               D
A new heav’n and earth displayed,
       Bm D             G
Ours a robe that will not tarnish,
            D        A       D
Hers a crown that will not fade.
 
[Alternate Verse 4 for Commonwealth]
        D                  G
We beheld her sure compassion,
       D                 A
For the last and for the least,
          D                   G
Straddling races, tribes and nations,
         D         A        D
Forging bonds of family.
         D                A
May this commonwealth now echo,
        Em               D
The wide kingdom of our King.
       Bm D             G
Reconciled through Christ who suffered,
            D        A       D
All our stories we will bring.
