INTRO: Gsus G Gsus G

Verse 1:

G D G G

There's more that rises in the morning than the sun

D/F# Em Em D C

More that shines in the night than just the moon

Am Dsus D G D/F# Em

There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm

Asus A Dsus D

In a shelter that is larger than this room

G D G G

There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment

D/F# Em Em D C

A music higher than the songs that I can sing

Am Dsus D G D/F# Em

The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance

Asus A Dsus D

I owe only to the giver of all good things

Chorus:

G C Em Asus A Dsus D Dsus D

So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through

Am C Em Dsus D G C Em D

And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to you

G C Em Asus A Dsus D Dsus D

If I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs

Am C Em Dsus D G C Em D

But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

Verse 2:

G C G G

There's more that dances on the prairies than the wind

D/F# Em Em D C

More that pulses in the ocean than the tide

Am Dsus D G D/F# Em

There's a love that is fiercer than the love between friends

Asus A Dsus D

More gently than a mother's when her baby's at her side

G D G G

There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment

D/F# Em Em D C

A music higher than the songs that I can sing

Am Dsus D G D/F# Em

The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance

Asus A Dsus D

I owe only to the giver of all good things
