(intro) G C9 G C9

G                   D         C      G
If I could have the world and all it owns
  C        Em6         Am       D7
A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones
   Em      C          D7      G         C         D7   G
If all the earth were mine to own, with wealth my only goal
   G        D       C       G
I'd spend my gold on selfish things
    C       Em6       Am7       D7
Without the love that your life brings
        Em         Am7       D7      G         C        Am7       G
Just a "little bit more" was all I'd need 'til life was torn from me.

(chorus)
C          Bm        Em      D7   Em6 D7
I'd rather be in the palm of your hand
C              Am7        G
Though rich or poor I may be.
C             Bm                Em D7 Em6 D7 
Faith can see right through the circumstance;
         A         A7           D7     C D7
Sees the forest in spite of the trees.
     C        Em6   Am7 G
Your grace provides for me.    (coda)

(break) G   D   C   G   C   Em6 Am  D7  Em  C   D7  G   C   D7  G

            G        D           C        G
If I should walk the streets, no place to sleep,
   C        Em6  Am7     D7
No faith in promises you keep.
   Em      C      D7     G            C     D7     G
I'd have no way to buy my bread with a Bible for my bed.
         G         D       C        G       C        Em6      Am7    D7
But if I trust the one who died for me, Who shed His blood to set me free
     Em      Am7     D7       G         C          Am7    G
If I live my life to trust in you, your grace will see me through.
