Lyrics

What for tune (D)lies be yond the stars,

those daz zling (F#m7)heights too vast to climb?

I got so (D)high to fall so far,

but I found (F#m7)heav en as love swept low.

My heart beat ing, my soul breath ing.

I found my life

when I laid it down.

Up ward fall ing, spir it soar ing.

I touch the sky

when my knees hit the ground.

What treas ure (D)waits with in Your scars?

The gift of (F#m7)free dom gold can’t buy.

I bought the (D)world and sold my heart.

You trad ed (F#m7)heav en to have me a gain.

My heart beat ing, my soul breath ing.

I found my life

when I laid it down.

Up ward fall ing, spir it soar ing.

I touch the sky

when my knees hit the ground.

Find me here at Your (Dsus2)feet a gain.

Ev ’ry (Esus)thing I am,

reach ing (F#m7)out, I sur ren der.

Come sweep me up in Your (Dsus2)love a gain,

and my (Esus)soul will dance

on the (F#m7)wings of for ev er.

Find me here at Your (Dsus2)feet a gain.

Ev ’ry (E7sus)thing I am,

reach ing (F#m7)out, I sur ren der.

Come sweep me up in Your (Dsus2)love a gain,

and my (E7sus)soul will dance

on the (F#m7)wings of for ev er.

My heart beat ing, my soul breath ing.

I found my life

when I laid it down.

Up ward fall ing, spir it soar ing.

I touch the sky

when my knees hit the ground.

My heart beat ing, my soul breath ing.

I found my life

when I laid it down.

Up ward fall ing, spir it soar ing.

I touch the sky

when my knees hit the ground.

Find me here at Your (Dsus2)feet a gain.

Ev ’ry (E7sus)thing I am,
