30 Years

MP3 Music Playlist: 
St. Mark Ji Tianxang (1834-1900) was a lay Catholic doctor in China. Becoming addicted to opium after an injury, he was denied communion for 30 years but persevered in going to church, finally being allowed to resume receiving the Eucharist. During the Boxer Rebellion, he chose martyrdom rather than renounce his faith. His feast day is July 7.

Dm     Am    Em7     Dm  Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6 Dm
Thirty years lost in a haze
Dm      Am   Em7          Dm6       Dm  Dm6 Dsus4 D Dm
All that time caught in a powerful trap


Dm     Am  Em7              Dm(maj7) Dm6
Kept apart from the Table
Dm        Am Em7               Dm(maj7)      Dm6   Dsus4 D Dm
For wanting more than wanting what you should.


       Cmaj7                      F
But brother, we’re not so different
           Cmaj7                   Asus4
We fall in snares of our own


Dm         Am   Em7           Dm  Dm(maj7) Dm7 Dm6 Dm
Still, you gave your life for Him
Dm        Am   Em7          Dm6       Dm  Dm6 Dsus4 D Dm
Pray for us to turn and follow your lead
