More Than Ever

[Verse 1]
        D           A        E   
When I started my journey in 
            A
fresh childlike trust
    D                A            
I believed that the Lord's way was
     E
 best
         D            A       
I would read in His Word how He 
  E            A
mothered the bird
      D              A            
And grieved when it fell from it's
   E
 nest
       D         A              E
How I felt His delight when I 
          F#m
chose to do right
       D              A         
And I prayed I would not make Him 
   E
sad
         D            A          
We would meet on the way in the 
E           F#m
cool of the day
        D            A          E
What a pure sweet communion we had

[Chorus]
         G             D        A
Oh, but now more than ever I 
          D
cherish the cross
          G       D           A
More than ever I sit at His feet
         G            D        
All the miles of my journey have 
   A              Bm
proved my Lord true
     G         D         A
And He is so precious to me

[Verse 2]
    D           A          
The road I have traveled has 
  E              A
sometimes been steep
        D           A          E
Through wild jagged places of life
Continues after the ad
  D            A            E    
Sometimes I've stumbled and 
     A
fallen so hard
          D            A           
That the stones cut my soul like a 
E
knife
         D           A            
But the staff of my Shepherd would
   E           F#m
 reach out for me
     D            A             E
And lift me to cool pastures green
      D          A       E       
With oil of the spirit anointing 
    F#m
my wounds
              D            A      
There I'd rest by the clear 
   E
healing stream

[Chorus]
         G             D      A  
Oh, but now more than ever I 
         D
cherish the cross
           G        D         A
More than ever I sit at His feet
        G            D         
All the miles of my journey have 
   A              Bm
proved my Lord true
    G         D         A    D  A  E
And He is so precious to me

[Verse 3]
    D               A         E  
Is Love's Old Sweet Story too 
        A
good to be true?
        D             A    
Do you find all this hard to 
    E
believe?
          D             A         
Has the cruel world we live in so 
E             A
battered your heart
          D           A           
That the hurt child inside you 
       E
can't grieve?
    D             A
I can't say I blame you
         E             F#m
I've been where you are
     D         A
But all I can say is
  E
It's true!
          D
You're wanted
            A
You're precious
               E           F#m
You're the love of His heart
         D           A         E
And the old rugged cross was for you

[Chorus]
          G              D       
Oh, but now more than ever I 
A         D
cherish the cross
           G      D          A
More than ever I sit at His feet
        G            D         
All the miles of my journey have 
    A             Bm
proved my Lord true
    G          D         A
And He is so precious to me
         G              D      A 
Oh, but now more than ever I 
          D
cherish the cross
          G           D       A
More than ever I sit at His feet
         G            D        
All the miles of my journey have 
   A              Bm
proved my Lord true
    G         D          A
And He is so precious to me
   G         D          A
Oh He is so precious to me
    G         D         A   G  D  A
Yes He is so precious to me
