Verse 1:
E MajorE EM7
I've done every devotional
A/EA/E E MajorE
Been every place emotional
A/EA/E E MajorE
Tryin' to hear a new word from God
A/EA/E B/E
And I think it's very odd
E MajorE EM7
That while I attempt to help myself
E MajorE
My Bible sits upon my shelf
A/EA/E E MajorE A/EA/E B/E
With every promise I could ever need

Verse 2:
E MajorE EM7
People are getting fit for truth
A/EA/E E MajorE
Like they're buyin' a new tailored suit
A/EA/E E MajorE
Does it fit across the shoulders
A/EA/E B/E
Will it fade when it gets older
E MajorE EM7
We throw ideas that aren't in style
A/EA/E E MajorE
In the Salvation Army pile
A/EA/E E MajorE A/EA/E B/E
And search for something more to meet our needs

Bridge:
(Start light, and build up during bridge)
E MajorE EM7
I think it's time I rediscover
A/EA/E E MajorE
All the ground that I have covered
A/EA/E E MajorE A/EA/E B/E
Like seek ye first - what a verse
E MajorE EM7
We are pressed but not crushed
A/EA/E E MajorE
Per-plexed but don't despair
A/EA/E E MajorE A/EA/E BsusBsus
We are persecuted but not abandoned
E MajorE EM7
We are no longer slaves
A/EA/E E MajorE
We are daughters and sons
A/EA/E E MajorE A/EA/E B/E
And when we are weak we are very strong
F#m7F#m7
And neither death nor life
G#m7G#m7
Nor present nor future
Asus2Asus2 BsusBsus
Nor depth nor height can keep us from the love of Christ

That put on flesh to dwell with us - in the beginning
