Verse 1:
 
 C#m                Abm 
It still feels like yesterday, 
 C#m            Abm 
A lifetime of empty days, 
  A                                 E      B 
My hungry heart was desperate for a meal. 
  C#m             Abm 
I feasted on the Bread of Life, 
  C#m                   Abm 
Forgiveness pierced me like a knife, 
        A                                      E      B 
And your breath filled up my lungs and I could feel. 
         F#m           Abm       B 
And I was broken and all I could say, 

 
         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

If I ever needed grace it's now. 



Verse 2:
 
  C#m              Abm 
I met the woman of my dreams, 
  C#m                Abm 
I wanted to give her everything, 
    A                             E      B 
But fear came like a thief in the night. 
   C#m                Abm 
But my journal pages prophesied, 
    C#m                Abm 
That one day I'd make her my bride, 
     A                               E        B 
And soon, my best friend was wearing white. 
         F#m         Abm         B 
With our lives ahead all I could say, 


         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.

A                 Abm 
In every joy and pain

Whatever comes my way 
                  B     
God I need your grace 

Verse 3:
 
C#m                    Abm 
Nine short months til' she arrived 
C#m              Abm 
Little hands and lions eyes 
    A                                  E        B 
And I'm so scared I don't have what it takes. 
      C#m                   Abm 
But I hear your voice, "Son lean on me," 
    C#m        Abm 
Father give me eyes to see 
 A                             B 
All I need's the power of your name

I am weak enough to see that I need you to cover me
