To Be a Christian -
Jonathon Pierce
    G+G
To be a Christian
       G/BG/B   C majorC
Is to bear another's load
  G/BG/B  A minorAm
To carry what they hold
        D MajorD        D7D7
When they can't walk another day
    G+G
To be a Christian
  G/BG/B  C majorC
Is holding out a hand
  G/BG/B  A minorAm     G+G
To help another stand
     FF        D MajorD
When everyone has turned away
    G+G    C majorC
To be a Christian
   G+G         G/BG/B
They sat there all alone
   C majorC       C-G/B-Am
Their mother almost gone
A minorAm
Their hope was passing
D MajorD         D7D7
Passing with the time
     B minorBm       C majorC
Should I turn and walk away
       A minorAm        Am/GAm/G
Or hold their hand and simply say
     A minorAm
I may not know your name
   G/BG/B
But I can find
   C majorC          D MajorD
In my heart to share your pain
     A minorAm           G/BG/B
And in my prayers to speak your name
       C majorC
You're not alone
D7D7   G+G           G/BG/B   C majorC
To be a Christian is to bear another's load
  G/BG/B  A minorAm
To carry what they hold
        D MajorD       D7D7
When they can't walk another day
    G+G       G/BG/B   C majorC
To be a Christian is holding out a hand
  G/BG/B  A minorAm     G+G
To help another stand
     FF        D MajorD
When everyone has turned away
    C majorC    C-G/B-Am
To be a Christian
  D MajorD      G+G
Is giving love away
     G+G        G/BG/B
It isn't always understood
         C majorC        C-G/B-Am
That through our worst God is good
A minorAm
But when we act with love
  D MajorD      D7D7
It says so much more
     B minorBm         C majorC
There is something said of grace
     A minorAm      Am/GAm/G
When it's written on a face
     A minorAm            G/BG/B
That can touch a heart it's never touched before
    C majorC        D MajorD
For to truly be like Christ
      C majorC
It's not a sacrifice
D MajorD    G+G
To be a Christian
  G/BG/B   C majorC
Is holding out a hand
  G/BG/B  A minorAm     G+G
To help another stand
     FF        D MajorD
When everyone has turned away
    C majorC    C-G/B-Am
To be a Christian
  D MajorD       G+G
Is giving love away
D MajorD
Wishing doesn't make the heart stop from hurting
  G/BG/B           E7E7
And hoping doesn't stop someone from crying
  Am7Am7       Am7/GAm7/G
But mercy falls so free
  A minorAm     G/BG/B    C majorC D MajorD
To those who will believe
   A minorAm      G/BG/B   C majorC D MajorD
Just take another look at me
    G+G
To be a Christian
       G/BG/B   C majorC
Is to bear another's load
  G/BG/B  A minorAm
To carry what they hold
        D MajorD        D7D7
When they can't walk another day
    G+G
To be a Christian
   G/BG/B  C majorC
Is holding out a hand
  G/BG/B  A minorAm     G+G
To help another stand
     FF        D MajorD
When everyone has turned away
    C majorC    C-G/B-Am
To be a Christian
  D MajorD       G+G
Is giving love away

G+G  C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
