Under Cover of Darkness

Under Cover of Darkness
by Dave Robinson, 14 April 2024
verse 1
he E felt he was losin’ the plot, and he E desperately wanted to win
he thought E ‘Jesus is in Jerusalem, why E not consult with him?
A7 nicodemus was a pharisee with A7 in the sanhedrin
a E man of wealth and power enough to E hide his doubt within
B7 under cover of darkness, one A7 rich man seek advice
E ‘rabbi, how can I ensure I’ll B7 achieve eternal life?’
reprise
how G can we find true happiness on any given day?
when the D hopes and dreams we had .. may turn out differently
we can’t C hold on to the maxim, G ‘what will be, will be’
we’re not Am meant to be successful in a C purely secular way?
‘shall I G enter into my mother’s womb D again to be rebirth?’
how C sad we cannot comprehend our G purpose on this earth
verse 2
‘we E know you are a teacher of the E way, the truth, the life
can you E tell me how to live so that I’ll E know for what I strive?’
A7 Jesus said the life you seek is A7 not of physical vain
E ‘verily, I say to you ‘ye E must be born again’
B7 under cover of darkness, one A7 rich man seek advice
E ‘rabbi, how can I ensure I’ll B7 achieve eternal life?’
reprise
how G can we find true happiness on any given day?
when the D hopes and dreams we had .. may turn out differently
we can’t C hold on to the maxim, G ‘what will be, will be’
we’re not Am meant to be successful in a C purely secular way?
‘shall I G enter into my mother’s womb D again to be rebirth?’
how C sad we cannot comprehend our G purpose on this earth
