Egypt

Ab


[Verse 1]
           Ab                 Eb
I need words deeper than the ocean
           Fm              Db
I need a voice bigger than the sky
           Ab                   Eb
I need a song worthy of your nail scars
                 Fm                   Db
To sing of the love that took a chance on me


[Chorus]
       Db    Eb                          Ab
Oh oh oh Yahweh the God who fights for me
        Fm       Eb             Db
My hallelujah my soul’s reprieve
Eb                        Ab
Long before my heart believed
       Fm            Eb     Db
Oh how far you would go for me


[Verse 2]
            Ab                     Eb
I thought God was further than horizons
             Fm                Db
I thought grace was just beyond my reach
                   Ab                      Eb
But you said my life was worthy of your nail scars
                       Fm
So I’ll sing like it was
                        Db
‘Cause you took a chance on me


[Chorus]
       Db    Eb                          Ab
Oh oh oh Yahweh the God who fights for me
        Fm       Eb             Db
My hallelujah my soul’s reprieve
Eb                        Ab
Long before my heart believed
       Fm            Eb     Db
Oh how far you would go for me
       Fm            Eb     Db
Oh how far you would go for me

            Ab                     Eb
I know a God who’s closer than a brother
           Fm            Db
I know a grace far beyond belief
           Ab/Eb                          Fm
I know I’m healed in the power of your nail scars
                   Ab                    Db
‘Cause yours is a love that took a chance on me
