• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse:
C                             F
My grandma used to pray in an abbey
        Am                         G
She was taught to sit right before God
 C                                  F
I thought this just made her a kind lady
       Am                      G
Till I saw for myself what God does

        C                         F
It took years of my mamas anxious waiting
   Am                             G
To finally see what’s always been true
         C                         F
That for everything I went to to make me happy
     Am                                 G
That every failed attempt would lead to you

Chorus:
             C                               F
And you were there for my beginnings when I didn’t know a thing
         Am                               G
You were there on the playground and when I learned to sing
         C                                    Am       G       F
You were there when I was fallen and you were there to pick me up
   Am                            G
So even though I couldn’t always see it
                                 C F C
I have never been away from your love

Verse:
C                                F
I grew up thinking I’d always be lonely
         Am                               G
That the thoughts in my head would make me drown
           C                                F
I couldn’t see back then it’d be part of my testimony
       Am                         G
That a savior was waiting till I just laid it down
    C                             F
And that’s the funny thing about surrender
    Am                                  G
The more that I’ve let go the more I’ve gained
      C                     F
Cause now that I know I can feel like this forever
    Am                    G
How could I ever love anything else the same

Chorus:
              C                                F
Cause through every single heartbreak I look back and see your plan
           Am                             G
And when I gave into the darkness even then you held my hand
C                                  Am      G        F
When I took my first steps till my time on earth is done
        Am                         G
It’s so clear to me now that I can see it
                                C       F C
That I’ve never been away from your love

Bridge: Muted:
C
I tried to live my life stumbling in the dark
F
While you were chasing me since the very start
Am
You came after me when I was blind with shame
G
While I was wandering you called me by name

Freely:
C
When I was still in sin my father died for me
F
What kind of God would save someone ungodly
Am
Since you did that when I was your enemy
G                                             C
How much more will you do now that I see your glory
                   F
Oh You redeemed my story
Am    G
Oh Oh Oh

Outro:
C                                       F
You were there for my beginnings when I didn’t know a thing
Am                             G
And when I was broken you found me when I sang
C                                         Am       G       F
You were there when I was fallen you were there to pick me up
   Am                            G
So even though I couldn’t always see it
                                  C  F C
I have never been away from your love
