Burning The Fields words and music by Mitch McVicker Em C Well, they're burning the fields in Kansas Em C The Flint Hills are all ablaze G D It's a beautiful sight to watch the flames rise Em C And watch the smoke drift away Em C And my memories run thick like that smoke Em C And like the love that's here when I come back G D And I'm thankful for what I had, I'm thankful for what I have now Em C So like the fields I want to come to life again Chorus: G D/F# Em C Yeah, renew my soul like that green grass on the prairies G D/F# F C Rekindle my heart with a passion for You G D/F# Em C Restore my mind, take my anxious thoughts away Am D G-D/F#-Em-C And, Lord, make me new like only You can do Em C And it's that time of year once again Em C When new life begins to stir G D The light of the world is loose on the grasslands Em C So, Lord, make me the salt of the earth Chorus: Bridge: Em C And now I'm thinkin' about Bennett Drive Em Cm And I think about the Smith's living room G D And how life only comes from You Chorus: G-D/F#-Em-C G-D/F#-Em-C G D/F# Em C Ah, renew my soul and rekindle my heart G D/F# Em C Restore my mind, make me new, yeah G D/F# Em C Renew my soul, rekindle my heart G D/F# Em C G-D/F#-Em-C Restore my mind, make me new, make me new, make me new, make me new G-D/F# Make me new Em C G-D/F#-Em-C Yes, they're burnin' the fields, Em (no chords) Oh, they're burning the fields in Kansas, so make me new like only You can do Copyright (c) 1999 White Plastic Bag Music (SESAC) All rights reserved.
