  D          A/C#      Bm7        F#m
Before You I kneel, my Master and Maker
G    Em7       A7(sus4)   D
  to offer the work of my hands,
    D           A/C#       Bm7        F#m
for this is the day You've given Your servant;
G   Em7    A7(sus4)     D
  I will rejoice and be glad:

Bm                         F#m7
for the strength I have to live and breathe,
G  A     Bm                   Em7   A(sus4) A
for each skill Your grace has given me,
Bm                     F#m7
for the needs and opportunities
          G    Em7 A(sus4) D
that will glorify  Your  great name

[Verse 2]

  D          A/C#      Bm7          F#m
Before You I kneel and ask for Your goodness
G    Em7       A7(sus4)   D
  to cover the work of my hands
    D            A/C#     Bm7          F#m
for patience and peace to shape all my labour
G      Em7       A7(sus4)     D
  Your grace for thorns in my path.

Bm                    F#m7
Flow within me like a living stream,
G  A  Bm                Em7       A(sus4) A
wear away the stones of pride and greed,
Bm                          F#m7
'til Your ways are dwelling deep in me
      G       Em7 A(sus4)  D
and a harvest of  life  is grown.

[Verse 3]

  D           A/C#       Bm7        F#m
Before You we kneel, our Master and Maker;
G  Em7          A7(sus4)    D
  establish the work of our hands,
    D         A/C#     Bm7             F#m
and order our steps to seek first Your kingdom
G    Em7   A7(sus4)        D
  in every small and great task.
Bm                     F#m7
May we live the gospel of Your grace,
G  A       Bm             Em7      A(sus4) A
serve Your purpose in our fleeting days,
Bm                         F#m7
then our lives will bring eternal praise
        G     Em7 A(sus4)  Bm
and all glory to  Your   great name,
        G     Em7 A(sus4)  D
and all glory to  Your   great name.
