G          F#/D      
Far better is to be with You 
 
   Em      C
Even for a day 
  
      G        F#/D
Than to live a thousand years 

  Em       
And to never see 

 C
One glimpse of Your face 

G            F#/D
As for me I want to be 

 C
Close to You 
 
  G            F#/D
All my days I want to live 

C
In Your house 
 

 G 
So take me 

C                         Em
Make Your home in my heart 
                         
                              Am
Wash away these guilty stains 


  C                   D
Make me like You are 
 
     G
Surround me 

C                                  Em
Closer than the air that I breathe 
                            C
Because You have loved me 
 

  D
I want to be 
   
G
A friend of God
