[G] In this shelter [D] that is larger [G] than this room _

[C] _
[Dm] The [D] stuff of [G] earth [C] competes for the [G] _ [Am] allegiance

So [C] if I stand, [F] let me stand [Am] on the promise
[D] That you will [C] pull me [G] through
_ _ _ And [Dm] if I can't, let me fall [Am] on the grace
[C] That first brought me to [F] you
_ _ _ [G] And [C] if I sing, [F] let me sing [Am] for the joy
[D] That is born in [C] me, these [G] _ songs
