1. Now the messengers of greed have set their rhythms in our ears

A F#m9 C#m E

And the desperates on the road invoke our pity and our fears

D E D E

When others have so little, and we are drowning in too much

D A D E7 A

Giver of abundances, give us enough.

2. Now the ministers of scorn have shown the emptiness of all

A F#m9 C#m E

And have spread their hollow laughter that our lives should be so small

D E D E

When our beauty has been clouded, and our voices have been hushed

D A D E7 A

Giver of sufficiencies, give us enough.

E7 D E7 D

Bridge: When the vision of the day has faded into dusk

E7 D A E

And the time is barely left to us for doing what we must,

A F#m9 C#m G

A F#m9 C#m G

3. When the wanting thing inside has strangled on its own demands

A F#m9 C#m E

And the hungry ghosts that swarm around retreat with empty hands

D E D E

When the works of time have passed away, and it all comes down to love

D A D E7 A

Giver of abundances, give us enough.

D A D E7 A
