VERSE 1: Em - G - A - G - A - Em In shady green pastures So rich and so sweet God leads His children along Where the waters cool flow Bathes the weary ones feet God leads His children along CHORUS: Em - G - A - G - Em Some through the waters And some through the floods Some through the fire But all through the Blood God leads His children along Some through great sorrow But God gives a song In the night season And all the day long God leads His children along VERSE 2: Em - G - A - G - A - Em Sometimes on the mount Where the sun shines so bright God leads His children along And sometimes in the valley In the darkest of night God leads his children along VERSE 3: (4 measures of Em) Em - G - A - G - A - Em Forty days and forty nights I crawled in the desert but walked in Your light Forty days and forty nights I tread the flood, You gave me the might Whether the fire or whether the flood With Your power we trek through the mud ‘Cause through Your blood, You redeemed it Love Nights are longer Wrong gets wronger Through the hunger He is stronger Top of my lungs, “Jesus is Stronger!”. Burn my body - can’t touch my soul Excuse my tongue for being so bold Sharing wisdom from days of old Jesus Christ, He sits on the throne In the breeze or the light of day Or bitters tears where bodies lay Don’t even care what they say He’s as real as the day - my dad walked away So give me the Mic Do what You’d like. Give me the sight Bring me the fight Lead us a’ right, with Your light ‘Cause through Your blood, You redeemed it Love!

Verse 1: Today I heard a sterling man… Said he’d “figured out his five year plan” As he told his brother he was heading home And he didn’t know the truth he spoke Would, in a few minutes cause his wife to choke As she heard of his death over the telephone See, around the corner I heard his feet As the car came to a halt and screeched… The cab driver, he didn’t know what to do Now I’m wondering about heading home Cause in my head I know I’m not alone The guy that died, he was thinking about his future too Pre-Chrous: I’m singing about how I’m sinking in my doubt I’m looking for truth now Man, is there a way out? Chorus: We have always been faithful To plan our own way Now we’ve got a whole human race full Of pride on parade Verse 2: Today I heard a homeless man Said Jesus gave new life to him And he couldn’t wait ‘til he was headed Home And he didn’t know the truth he spoke Plus my change would help him not be broke He said, “keep it son, you know that I’m not alone See, around the corner is where I sleep And the good Lord keeps the shoes on my feet, I’m a stranger, that’s just passing through… I’m done wondering about heading home Cause in my heart I know I’m not alone The God that died, He was thinking about my future too” Pre-Chrous: But you’re singing about how You’re sinking in your doubt You’re looking for truth now Man, I know the way out… Final Chorus: See, We have always been faithful To plan our own way Now we’ve got a whole human race full Of pride on parade And God, you know, I am grateful Of how faithful you have been But God, you know I am hateful Won’t you save me from my sins?

VERSE 1: Em - C - Em - C And I will praise you on this side of the sea They’ve come to take my home from me The invisible God they’ve chosen not to see And will then be swallowed in their unbelief Their hearts, their hearts have known no peace So now their eyes will find no sleep In home heavenly, in my home heavenly How a father has hated his daughter and sons And tried to cause his wife to run But the mighty arms they’re, they’re underneath And my mother has run into those arms of peace “A father to fatherless”, He’s been whispering to me “Now pass through the river, it won’t sweep over thee” CHORUS: G So we go, we go, we’re going home C And God, he waits upon His throne G D/F# G For you and me, in my home heavenly G And we know, we know, and we’ve been shown C God’s Son, He shapes and makes our home G D/F# G While breaking me, for my home heavenly VERSE 2: Em - C - Em - C I claim this world is not our home We’re on our way to fully-grown And on that day, a husband will see What his wife had always known What his children had sung And were born to show That Christ’s love has come and their sins atoned That dead man live, and their sins atoned Hey Dad, the Carpenter’s hands have built my home

Swing Low 04:24
VERSE 1: Whoa-now, Slow down, Let me kick you something I just wrote down. I was sittin’, thinkin’. Eatin’ some chicken. Rhymes were flippin’ In my mental vision. And I was just thinkin’, ‘bout things that where written About life and love and the life that we’re livin’ People can’t accept the things we were given, So me and my crew, man, we just stay hidden. So I spent my day ‘neath a chestnut tree, Talkin’ to Clay and just shootin’ the breeze. But I’m OK, God provide my needs. And I hear You speak as I quietly read. And it seem kind a good that now a days, As I pass by they know my name. But it seems even quicker that they pass the blame. But I guess that it comes with the passing fame. And don’t be surprised - see tears in my eyes, All you dudes do is criticize. But like Whoa, I know, When I kick the show, All you people don’t know, You can’t handle the flow. But through tribulation comes the patience. So lets kick this off without hesitation. CHORUS: Swing Low, sweet chariot Father come down here and take me up ‘Cause I don’t think they can handle my flow Or the fact that you live in us They criticize and size me up But we only answer to the One above VERSE 2: I swear we’ve been marching, seems like, ten long years The seas we’ve been parting have just disappeared My Fam, we’ve been rollin’, forever plus one night Yesterday is the new tomorrow, won’t let us pass us by Cause where I come from, we learn to run Before we walk And where I come from, we learn to sing, before we talk And where I come from, we learn to die, before we live So when it all falls down upon our heads, we can give CHORUS: Swing Low, sweet chariot Father come down here and take me up ‘Cause I don’t think they can handle my flow Or the fact that you live in us They criticize and size me up But we only answer to the One above VERSE 3: And this might sound like a vintage flow. That’s why I writ this though. So I could let ya’ll know, Some days is hard, we don’t make no dough. But Ok, with you Lord, I won’t sway. Even if they keep their talking all day, I keep it on my knees, to You I pray. So I Spit fire, spit balls of flame. And if they misfire, they could cost the game. But then they walk by like they ashamed, But I still smile like, “what’s His name”. And no matter what they say, We make these beats knock. Piano in the composition, It makes the song rock. They play, I faze, I make the flow lock. Everything that was HOT, count it all a loss. Me and my crew, laid it down for the cross. Through woes, bust shows, and I brush my clothes. D-A-T come through, everybody’s like, “whoa”. CHORUS: Swing Low, sweet chariot Father come down here and take me up ‘Cause I don’t think they can handle my flow Or the fact that you live in us They criticize and size me up But we only answer to the One above

about

It's been 7 years since UR's first studio release "Only If You Go With Me". In that time the band has played over 1,800 shows and worship events, on three separate continents.

"This Side Of The Sea" is an eclectic array of songs written and recorded by us during our travels. Each song on this record is the overflow of our experiences in these past 7 years. Our hope is that you too will learn to praise God on this side of the sea of life.
