Many thanks to Marty Keith for figuring this out and posting a YouTube tutorial, 
which I've blatantly plagiarized with his permission for this tab.  
There's a lot of muting and staccato, especially in the intro and verses.  Just 
listen to the recording to catch the groove, or check out Marty's video for strumming instruction.

I claim no rights to this - I just wrote it down.

Tuning is DADGAD tuned down 1/2 step (Db,Ab,etc.)

intro - Gb Db  x 4

verse 1
(Gb)       Db           
I hear the clock beep, pull me out of my sleep
(Db)              Bbm
Tell me there's a day ahead of me
(Bbm)      Db
Trying to wake up, sipping on a hot cup
(Db)            Bbm
With the little lady in green

Pre-chorus

And I'm praying 'bout the man I wanna be
        Gb          Db/F        Gb

And fill me up with Your love

Chorus

Love, take these words that I'm speaking

Love, take these thoughts that I'm thinking

Love, take me over

Love, fill up all of my space and
 Gb                          Ab
Love, stand right here in my place
 Bbm            Gb
Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying

Love, take me over

Verse 2
This is what I'm sure of, I can only show love
When I really know how loved I am
When it overtakes me, then it animates me
Flowing from my heart into my hands

So I'm praying, Father, help my heart believe
That right now You're singing over me
And fill me up with Your love
