Intro: G Bm C G
G Bm C G
I was hollow and closed, in the morning I could not see
G Bm C G
Your beloved goodness reigned itself out on me
G Bm C G
I raged against you like a river on a stone
G Bm C G
But against that tidal wave, I am overthrown
G Em C G

G Bm C G
I was lost in the worldly and uh leanin' on myself
G Bm C G
I played that religion card, I put Jesus on a shelf
G Bm C G
Born into darkness, I kept putting off the grace
G Bm C G
Thinking my own goodness could get me in heaven's gates
