And there’s a (C)loy al ty that’s (G)deep er than mere (C)sen ti ments, and a (G)mu sic high er than the songs that (E)I can sing.

The stuff of earth com petes for the al (C)le giance I owe on ly to the Giv er of all good things.

So if I (C)stand, (Dm)let (C)me (F)stand on the prom ise that (Dsus)You will pull me through.
