Verse: 

G5         D5           E5 
Far better is to be with You 
           C5 
Even for a day 
          G5             D5 
Than to live a thousand years 
             E5                       C5 
And to never see one glimpse of Your face 
       G5  D5 G5  D5 E5 
As for me I want to be 
G5      C5 
Close to You 
       G5    D5 G5   D5 
All my days I want to live 
E5   G5      C5 
In Your house 


G5 
So take me 
C5                     E5 
Make Your home in my heart 
                A5 
Wash away these guilty stains 
C5                D5 
Make me like You are 
    G5 
Surround me 
C5                           E5 
Closer than the air that I breathe 
                  C5 
Because You have loved me 
      G5 A5 G5 D5 
I want to be 
            G5 
A friend of God
