Intro: Am C 
 
 
  Am                             C 
   My Lord, what shall I give him today 
              Am                              C 
   He wants my heart, more than he asks for my wage 
               Am                           C 
   One day I'll die, but it won't be my last day 
                     Am                         C 
   When I look in his eyes, I'll know that I did okay 
 
 
    Am                              C 
  My Lord, what shall I sing him for now 
                Am                           C 
  A song full of praise, from a mouth full of doubt 
              Am                   C 
  I lift up my face, and I sing out loud 
             Am                         C 
  With all my mistakes, I still make him proud 
 
 
            Am 
  He paid it all for me 
              C 
  Carried that cross for you 
                Em 
  On that rugged walk, He knew 
                C 
  What he had to do 
            Am 
  Opened his arms up wide 
             C 
  Invited the world inside 
           Am 
  One final breathe 
              Em 
  He conquered death 
                C C 
  For me and for you 
 
 
 Am                                 C 
  My lord, where would he want me to go 
             Am                                    C 
  Just across town, or a place where I don't know a soul 
              Am                      C 
  Just tell me where, and I'll hit the road 
                 Am                  C 
  With no time to spare, and no heavy load
