G D Em D C
Everybody each and all, we're gonna die eventually
G Am7 G/B C Am7
Dsus D D/E Em D C Am7
It's no more or less our faults than it is our des- tiny
C/D D G D Em D C2 C
So now Lord I come to you ask-ing on- ly for Your grace
G Am7 G/B C Am7
D7sus D D/E
You know what I've put my- self through
D C2 Am
All those emp-ty dreams I chased
C/D D G C C2 Bm7 C2
And when my bod-y lies in the ru-ins of the lies that nearly ruined me
Bm7 C2 D Em7
Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true
Am7 C/D D
And breathe Your life into them and set them free?
C G2/B
And when You start this world over again from scratch
C D D/E Em
Will You make me anew out of the stuff that lasts?
D C Bm7 Em7 Am7
Stuff that's pur-er than gold is and clear-er than glass could ever be
G/A Am7 G/B C D Em Em/D
Can I be with You?
C2 G/B C D7sus
Can I be with You?
G D Em C2 Am7 D7sus D7
[ / / / / ] [ / / / / ] [ / / / / ] [ / / / / ]
And everybody all and each, from the day that we are born
We have to learn to walk beneath those mercies by which we're drawn
And now we wrestle in the dark with these angels that we can't see
We will move on although with scars
Oh Lord, move inside of me
And when my body lies in the ruins of the lies that nearly runied me
Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true
And breathe Your life into them and set them free?
And when You blast this cosmos to kingdom come
When those jagged-edged mountains I love are gone
When the sky is crossed with the tears of a thousand falling suns
As they crash into the sea
Can I be with you?
Can I be with you?
