E

How can you wait for me who keeps falling?

A

How can you answer when I’ve stopped calling?

E

For each step I run, you take two to meet me

B                               A            C#m  B

My God, my King, take me home!

 

E

How can you love me the one who hurt you?

A

How can you heal me, the one who cursed you?

E

You lift up my face, and look in my eyes,

B                                      A        C#m  B             

And tell me, My child, welcome home!

 

E

It’s love, Your love, that’s bigger than time

C#m

It’s grace, Your grace, that’s better than wine

A                       B                    C#m           A

You wore my shame and You gave me a crown

G#m           A                 B                    C#m

Your Dangerous Grace has called me Your own!

G#m           A                 B                   E

Your Dangerous Grace has called me Your own!

 

E

Your name you offer to me who wandered.

A

Your riches you shower on me who squander.

E

I stand before you, yet how can I thank you?

B                          A       C#m  B

My God, My King, I am yours.
