G Em C G 

 
G                           Em 
I met you the day you were born 
Em                      D 
God knows I can't stand it 
                          D 
I took those days for granted 
D                  G 
I wish I knew you more 
G                                      D 
And I knew that you would someday grow up 
D                        G 
And time would run out then 
G                                               D 
But would you still be my friend in brotherly love? 
          Am                        G 
Ooh, the Lord gave you something special 
              G               Em 
So don't you hide behind an excuse 
Am                         D 
Mmm, what do you have to lose?  


 
G                                  Bm 
You're a melody in my heart on an autumn day 
Bm                                      Em 
A memory in the dark when it's pouring rain 
Em                                          C 
A smile that reminds me of God in the fallen place we're in 
G 
For eternity I'll call you friend

G                                  Em

Em                                                    C 
And I trust that you always keep Jesus in your fault days 
C                        G 
'Cause He died for your sin 
G                                        D 
Mmm, and I can't wait to see you in the sky 
D            C                                                              G 
Flying to our home there, have confidence in Christ, where He lives deep inside 
            Am                        D 
Ooh, 'cause God gave you something special 
              G              Am 
So don't you hide behind an excuse 
Am                        D 
Ooh, what do you have to lose?

A smile that reminds me of God in the fallen place we're in

For eternity I'll call you  

 
G                    Em    D                              C 
Call on Him when you sin, call on Him 'cause He's your friend 
Cm                                  G 
Call on Him 'cause your life depends on Him 
G                    Em       D                  C     Cm           Am 
When the autumn trees are bare on the 21st of October, it ain't all over 
Am             Cm 
God holds her, His precious daughter

December will come, but the lining is silvery snow

The ember is Christ when its cold to the bitter bone
