Lyrics

How could I (Csus)stand (C)here

and watch the sun (Dm9)rise,

fol low the moun tains

where they touch the (Fsus2)sky,

pon der the vast

(C)ness

and the depths of the (Dm7)sea,

and think for a mo ment the point of it all was to make much of (Fsus2)me?

’Cause I’m just a (Am7)whis per

and You are the (Ab)thun der.

And (Bbsus2)I want to make

much of You, Je sus, I want to make

much of Your love.

I want to live to day

to (C)give You the praise

that You a lone are so (Am)wor thy (G)of.

(Fsus2)I want to make

much of Your mer cy, I want to make

much of Your cross.

I (Dm7)give You my life;

(C)take it and let it be (Fsus2)used

to make (Am7)much

(Gsus)of

(Csus)You.

And how can I (Csus)kneel

(C)here

and (C)think of the cross,

the thorns and the whip and the nails and the (Am)spear, the in fi nite (Fsus2)cost

to pur chase my (Csus)par (C)don

and bear all my (Dm7)shame,

and think I have an y thing worth boast ing in

ex cept for Your (Fsus2)name?

’Cause I am a (Am7)sin ner

and You are the (Ab)Sav ior.

And (Bbsus2)I want to make (Am7)much (Gsus)of

(Ab)You.

This is Your love, oh, God,

not to make much of me,

(C)but to send Your own Son so that (Eb)we could make much of You (F)for all e ter ni ty.

And (F)I want to make

much of You, Je sus, I want to make

much of Your (Fsus2)love.

I want to live to day to (C)give You the praise

that You a lone are so (Am)wor thy (G)of.

(F)I want to make

much of Your mer cy, I want to make

much of Your (Fsus2)cross.

I (Dm7)give You my life;

(C)take it and let it be (Fsus2)used

to make (Am7)much (G)of

(Csus)You.

I (G)want to make (Csus)much of You,

(F)much of You, Je sus.
