Lyrics

You gave me time

when (Gmaj7)no one gave me time of (Cmaj7)day.

You (Am)looked deep in side

while the (D7)rest of the world looked a way.

I You smiled at me

when (G7)there were just frowns ev ’ry (C)where.

(G)You gave me love

when (Am7)no bod y gave me a (G)prayer.

(C)That’s why I call You (Bm7)Sav ior,

(Am7)that’s why (D7)I call You (G)friend.

(C)You touched my (D)heart,

(Bm7)You touched my (Em7)soul

and (A7)helped me start all o ver a gain.

And (C)that’s why I love You, (Bm7)Je sus,

(Am7)that’s why (D7)I’ll al ways (Em)care.

(G)You gave me love

when (Am7)no bod y gave me a prayer.

(Am7)that’s why (D7)I’ll al ways (Em)care.

(G)You gave me love

when (Am7)no bod y gave me

a (G)prayer.
