  			(i capo on the FOURTH fret, this song gets HIGH!) 
(Lively melody) 
D                            A              D 
Well there's more that rises in the morning than the sun, 
          G 
more that shines in the night than just the moon! 
                                           D 
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm, 
      A 
and a shelter that is larger than this room... 
              D 
And there's a loyalty that is deeper than mere sentiment, 
            G 
and a music higher than the songs that I can sing... 
                                      D                 D 
The stuff of earth competes for the a-le-e-giance I owe only to the 
Giver of all good things... 
 
 
Chorus 
        D                                                       A 
So if I stand, let me stand on the promise that You will see me 
through... 
         G                                                       D 
And if i can't let me fall on the Grace that first brought me to You! 
                                                                 A 
And if i sing let it be for the joy that has born in me the-eese 
songs... 
         G                                                D 
and if i weep let it be as a man who is longing fo-or his ho-ome... 
 
 
Verse 2 
D                             A             D 
Well there's more that dances on the prarie than the wind, 
          G 
more that pulses in the ocean than the tide, 
                                        D 
there's a love that is fiercer than the love between friends, 
     A 
more gentle than a mother's, with her newborn by her side... 
              D               A                D 
And there's a loyalty that is deeper than mere sentiment, 
            G 
and a music higher than the songs that I can sing! 
                                      D 
The stuff of earth competes for the a-le-e-giance 
      A 
I owe only to the Giver of all good things...

Tag 
         G                   A                            D 
Yes if I weep let it be as a man who is longing fo-or his ho-ooomme...!
