    G                   D         C      G

1.  If I could have the world and all it owns

      C        Em6         Am       D7

    A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones

       Em      C          D7      G         C         D7   G

    If all the earth were mine to own, with wealth my only goal

        G        D       C       G

    I'd spend my gold on selfish things

        C       Em6       Am7       D7

    Without the love that your life brings

            Em         Am7       D7      G         C        Am7       G

    Just a "little bit more" was all I'd need 'til life was torn from me.

CHORUS

    C          Bm        Em      D7   Em6 D7

    I'd rather be in the palm of your hand

    C              Am7        G

    Though rich or poor I may be.

    C             Bm                Em D7 Em6 D7 ?

    Faith can see right through the circumstance;

             A         A7           D7     C D7

    Sees the forest in spite of the trees.

                C        Em6   Am7 G

    [CODA] Your grace provides for me.

    [BREAK] G   D   C   G   C   Em6 Am  D7  Em  C   D7  G   C   D7  G  

            |...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|

                G        D           C        G

2.  If I should walk the streets, no place to sleep,

       C        Em6  Am7     D7

    No faith in promises you keep.

        Em      C      D7     G            C     D7     G

    I'd have no way to buy my bread with a Bible for my bed.

             G         D       C        G       C        Em6      Am7    D7

    But if I trust the one who died for me, Who shed His blood to set me free

         Em      Am7     D7       G         C          Am7    G

    If I live my life to trust in you, your grace will see me through.
