To Every Generation: Bill Batstone

I found this wonderful song and chord chart online that was written by Bill Batstone in 1986 © Marantha! Music. I've played it for years and it's so soothing and peaceful.

Psalm 90: 1-2

Lord, you have been our dwelling place
    throughout all generations
Before the mountains were born
    or you brought forth the whole world,
    from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

Shelter (To Every Generation) 

E        B      C#m     A
You have been a shelter Lord
B             A      B            A      E
To every generation, to every generation, Lord
E      B     C#m     A
A sanctuary from the storm
B             A      B            A      E    B C#m A
To every generation, to every generation, Lord

E          B         C#m
Though the mountains fall,
           A            E
Though the earth should shake,
           B                               A
Though the seas should roar with all the heartache
E          B              C#m
Though our hearts should pound,
           A           C#m
Though our throats be dry,
         F#m      A       B
We will lift Your Name on high
