VERSE ONE:

Am                     F                   G                         C         (G/B)

When I tell what I have done, all the things that I have done,

Am                Bdim              E7                                      Am

I can know that I have done, all of the things that You told me.

Am             F                   G                             C

If I say that I am done, with those things that I have done,

Am                Bdim                   E7                  Am   G/B

I will wait for You to come, and lift me to my feet...

 

PRE:

         C                F               G                  C   G/B

But when I keep silent, my bones waste away,

Am                Dm7        G   C   G/B

Through my groanings all day.

Am           F                          G                    C   G/B

And when I shut down, my strength goes away,

Am     Dm7        G

Till I can come openly, then…

I can know that I have done, all of the things that You told me.

Am                                  F             G                     C       

And if the time should ever come, again I do what I have done,

Am                Bdim                    E7                Am     G/B

I will do what I have done, and lay it at Your feet again…

I know that there’s these times in our lives when, we must make a choice

Am             C/E                  F2                           

When those times come, I know what I’ll say, I’ll say,

Dm7      G         Dm7    G

“I am Yours! I’m all Yours!”
