If I Ever Needed Grace
guitar chords lyrics
Key: E
Intro:
C#m A E B [x2]
Verse 1:
C#m G#m
It still feels like yesterday,
C#m G#m
A lifetime of empty days,
A E B
My hungry heart was desperate for a meal.
C#m G#m
I feasted on the Bread of Life,
C#m G#m
Forgiveness pierced me like a knife,
A E B
And your breath filled up my lungs and I could feel.
F#m G#m B
And I was broken and all I could say,
Chorus:
C#m A E B
Was if I ever needed grace it's now
C#m A B
You are strong when I am weak somehow
C#m A F#m
I am weak enough to see that I need you to cover me
A B C#m A E B
If I ever needed grace it's now.
Verse 2:
C#m G#m
I met the woman of my dreams,
C#m G#m
I wanted to give her everything,
A E B
But fear came like a thief in the night.
C#m G#m
But my journal pages prophesied,
C#m G#m
That one day I'd make her my bride,
A E B
And soon, my best friend was wearing white.
F#m G#m B
With our lives ahead all I could say,
[Chorus]
C#m A E B
Was if I ever needed grace it's now
C#m A B
You are strong when I am weak somehow
C#m A F#m
I am weak enough to see that I need you to cover me
A B A
If I ever needed grace it's now.
Bridge:
A G#m
In every joy and pain
F#m
Whatever comes my way
B (opt F#m hold until you start verse 3)
God I need your grace
Verse 3:
C#m G#m
Nine short months til' she arrived
C#m G#m
Little hands and lions eyes
A E B
And I'm so scared I don't have what it takes.
C#m G#m
But I hear your voice, "Son lean on me,"
C#m G#m
Father give me eyes to see
A B
All I need's the power of your name
Chorus:
C#m A E B
Was if I ever needed grace it's now
C#m A B
You are strong when I am weak somehow
C#m A F#m
I am weak enough to see that I need you to cover me
A G#m
If I ever needed grace
F#m A
If I ever needed grace
A B C#m A E
If I ever needed grace, it's now...
There might be some rough spots like the bridge, but I did most of this by
ear. So hopefully it helps. And you can go back to any verse after you play
the outro by simply playing the 5 chord (B chord). Thank you, please give
feed back if possible, thanks and God Bless.
