If I Ever Needed Grace

 E                  B
It still feels like yesterday,
 C#m            G#m
A lifetime of empty days,
  A                                
My hungry heart was desperate for a
 E      B
 meal.
  E               B
I feasted on the Bread of Life,
  C#m                   G#m
Forgiveness pierced me like a knife,
        A                          
And your breath filled up my lungs 
            E      B
and I could feel.
         F#m           G#m       
And I was broken and all I could 
B
say,

Chorus:
         C#m         A          E
Was if I ever needed grace it's 
     B
now
          C#m            A  
You are strong when I am weak 
       B
somehow
     C#m            A              
I am weak enough to see that I need
F#m
 you to cover me
     A           B         C#m   
If I ever needed grace it's now.
A   E   B


Verse 2:
  E             B
I met the woman of my dreams,
  C#m                G#m
I wanted to give her everything,

    A                             
But fear came like a thief in the 
E      B
night.
   E                B
But my journal pages prophesied,
    C#m                G#m
That one day I'd make her my bride,
     A                             
And soon, my best friend was 
  E        B
wearing white.
         F#m         G#m         
With our lives ahead all I could 
B
say,

[Chorus]
         C#m         A          E
Was if I ever needed grace it's 
     B
now
          C#m            A  
You are strong when I am weak 
        B
somehow
           C#m      A             
I am weak enough to see that I 
  F#m
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:
E                    B
Nine short months til' she arrived
C#m              G#m
Little hands and lions eyes
    A                              
And I'm so scared I don't have what
    E        B
 it takes.
      E                   B
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          
Was if I ever needed grace it's 
E        B
now
        C#m              A  
You are strong when I am weak 
       B
somehow
     C#m             A            
I am weak enough to see that I 
  F#m
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 
If I ever needed grace, it's 
      A     E
now...
