   C      G  D/F#  Em  C  G  D/F#  Em  C

note: I think it also sounds good, maybe even better, substituting Em7 [0 2 2 0 3 
3] for Em, Cadd9 [x 3 2 0 3 3] for C, and Dsus4 [x x 0 2 3 3] for D.

Strum pattern for beginners - First, listen to the song. The fast part (end of 
verse lines, end of chorus) I play:

G   D/F#    Em  C
D D UUUDUDU D D UUUDUDU

During the verse just play and let ring out the initial single chord until the jam 
above.
During the chorus, I play something like this (hitting just the root note 
sometimes on down strums including the initial strum):

D D DU  D D D DU  D D D DU  D D D DU   D D D DU
G                 C         D          G
   Praise  is  waiting for You in this place

I hope that's helpful. It's a great song, enjoy!
