I thought I would share it since needed it on one page anyway. 
  
Gmaj9             A                      Bm     
      You put me here for a rea-son 
Gmaj9             A                      Bm     
      You have a mission for me 
Gmaj9             A                      Bm     
      You knew my name and You called it 
              Gmaj9    A                              D     
      Long before I learned to breathe 
 
Gmaj9                 A         Bm     
      Sometimes I feel disappointed 
                     Gmaj9  A               Bm 
      By the way  I      spend my time 
Gmaj9              A                     Bm     
      How can I further Your kingdom 
                   Gmaj9           A                     Em     
      When I'm so wrapped up in mine 
 
 
                              D             A 
      In a Blink of an eye that is when 
                  Em                           G 
      I'll be closer to You than I've ever been 
                    D                      A 
      Time will fly___, but until then 
                     Em                               G 
      I'll embrace every moment I'm given 
                        Em            Gmaj9                             
      There's a rea-son I'm__ alive for a blink of an eye 
 
Gmaj9                  A                   Bm     
      And though I'm living a good life 
                   Gmaj9  A                Bm     
      Can my life be something great? 
Gmaj9          A                      Bm     
      I have to answer the question 
             Gmaj9 A              Em  
      Before it's too late 
 
 
(Chorus) 
 
C2                              G/B    
      If I give the very best of me 
                                     Gm/Bb 
      That becomes my leg_acy 
                            D/F#                  G2 
      So tell me what am I waiting for? 
            Em7               
      What am I waiting for? 
     
                             D               A 
      In a Blink of an eye that is when 
                  Em                            G   
      I'll be clo_ser to You than I've ever been 
                    D                 A 
      Time will fly, but until then 
                      Em                         G     
      I'll embrace every moment I'm given 
 
 
(Chorus)
