Lyrics

I have (Gm7)come

of from so (Cm7)far

a (Ebmaj7)way,

down the (Dm7)road

of my (Bb)own

mis (Eb)takes,

in the (Ab6)hope

You could (Ebm6)hear

me (Bb)pray,

“Oh (Eb)Lord,

(Cm7)keep me (F7)in Your (Bb)reach.”

How I’ve (Gm7)longed

of through these (Cm7)wast

ed (Ebmaj7)years

to out (Dm7)run

all the (Bb)pain

and (Eb)fear.

Turned to (Ab6)stone

from my (Ebm6)un

cried (Bb)tears,

and (Eb)now

(Cm7)it’s Your (F7)grace I (Bb)reach.”

How I’ve (Bb)seek.

(F)Love

won’t (F)com

(Eb)pro (Bbsus2)mise;

it’s a (Db6)gift,

it’s a (Cm7)sac

ri (Bb)fice.

My (Gm7)soul re newed

and my (E)heart

Oh, won drous (Bb)lieve

that my (F)way

My (Gm7)soul re newed

and my (E)spir

in (Cm7)You

I’ll (Cm)find
