Intro: C  Am  Em  G 


C                Am 
Here I am once again 
                         Em 
I've been shaken by the question  
            G 
Where's my place? 
C                       Am                        
  Nowhere to hide deep inside 
                            Em  
There's a fight to find the answer 
    G  
So I pray 
                F 
One breath from You 
    Am     G  
And I can breathe 
              F  
One word from You 
    Am    G  
And I can see  


                     C 
I'm closer than the angels 
             Am 
Joy of Your creation 
                F 
Oh the way You see me 
          C 
Is who I am 
G               Am  
Beautiful and treasured 
              F  
Loved beyond measure 
           C  
I'm on my knees 
         G            F  
Cause I know where I stand 
                  C     Am  
Closer than the angels 
                  Em   G 
Closer than the angels 


C                 Am 
  All along I belong 
                         Em 
To the God who made the heavens 
         G  
You made me 
          F       Am   G 
A picture of Your majesty 
               F 
You gave Your life 
   Am    G  
So I can be  

  
                 C 
Closer than the angels 
             Am 
Joy of Your creation 
                F 
Oh the way You see me 
          C 
Is who I am 
G               Am  
Beautiful and treasured 
              F  
Loved beyond measure 
           C  
I'm on my knees 
         G            F  
Cause I know where I stand 
                  C 
Closer than the angels 


Am 
  So how can I give less 
F 
  Than everything I am 
C 
  I'm lifting empty hands 
   G 
As I stand 
Am 
  So how can I give less 
F 
  Than everything I am 
C 
  I'm lifting empty hands 
   G 
As I stand 


                 C 
Closer than the angels 
             Am 
Joy of Your creation 
                F 
Oh the way You see me 
          C 
Is who I am 
G               Am  
Beautiful and treasured

Loved beyond measure 
           C  
I'm on my knees 
         G            F  
Cause I know where I stand

Than everything I am  
                           G                          Am 
I'm lifting empty hands as I stand (closer than the angels)

So how can I give less

Than everything I am 
                           G 
I'm lifting empty hands as I stand 
                 C      Am  Em  G   C
