No Vacant Thrones

We are neither abandoned nor ignored by God when faced with the worst life has to offer. This song is a reminder of our hope for the hard days. (Phillip Joubert)

VERSE 1
F C/E
When the God who told the sun to rise
Dm Bb F
Tells me what he thinks of me
A Dm
He has done his job
F C/E
And when the God who told the sun to rise
Dm Bb F
Tells me no to what I want
A/C# Dm Bb F
He is being God, he is being God
A/C# Dm Bb F C/E F
He is being God, he is being God

CHORUS
Gm F C/E Bb
Heaven has no vacant thrones
F C/E Dm C
You’re not plugging your ears to our weeping
Gm F C/E Bb
Heaven has no vacant thrones
F C/E Bb Dm
When we’re out of control you’re not losing your hold
F Bb Bb/C
You are showing love, you are showing love

VERSE 2
F C/E
When the God who spoke me into life
Dm Bb F
Speaks about how I live mine
A Dm
He can speak his mind
C/E F C/E
And if the God who wipes away my sin
Dm Bb F
Wipes away the plans I’ve made
A/C# Dm Bb F
He is being kind, he is being kind
A/C# Dm Bb F C/E F
He is being kind, he is being kind

VERSE 3
F C/E
When the God who gives and takes away
Dm Bb F
Gives me what he knows I need
A Dm
He is being good
F C/E
And when the God who gives and takes away
Dm Bb F
Takes away the ones I love
A/C# Dm Bb F
He will still be good, he will still be good
A/C# Dm Bb F C/E F
He will still be good, he will still be good

BRIDGE
F/Eb Bb/D
It won’t all make me smile
Bbm6/Db F/C
But it’s all for my good
F/Eb Bb/D
When it all falls apart
Bbm6/Db F/C
He will always be good
