Verse 1: (play main riff 4 times)
If life is water, I was dry as Tucson dirt
If it's a gamble, I'd already lost my shirt
If it's a journey, I was dazed without a clue
I flipped a "U" back to the first love I ever knew


Chorus:

You give me joy that's unspeakable
     D       Am
And I like it, and I like it, yeah

Your love for me's irresistible
       D          Am
I can't fight it, I can't fight it, yeah
C               G
You carried the cross and took my shame
     D      Am
I believe it, I believe it, yeah
C              G
You shine Your light of amazing grace
     D      Am     Main Riff
I receive it, I receive it, yeah


Verse 2: (play main riff 4 times)
If life's a battle, the invasion is complete
If it's a rhythm, I have found the perfect beat
If it's a renaissance, I've got a new birthday
The world don't give it, and the world can't take it away

Chorus:
   C (let ring)       G
You give me joy that's unspeakable
     D       Am

You carried the cross and took my shame
     D      Am
I believe it, I believe it, yeah
C              G
You shine Your light of amazing grace
     D      Am     Am
I receive it, I receive it, yeah


Bridge:
   Bm    C   G       D
I'm bowed and broken, everything's new
Bm     C         G    D
All that I need, You're like water to seed
  Bm    C      G      D
And how your love, rights everything wrong
  Bm   C     G
And in my weakness, You're ever stronger
               D
You're pulling me back where I belong
