Thanks to Chris Rickman who originally transcribed this. I've changed
the format a little to make it easier to play.

Intro   E  Aadd9  B7 (2X)

Verse 1

[E] Lord, You know my [Aadd9] he[B7]art
[E] And all my [Aadd9] desi[B7]res
And the [C#min7]secret [G#min7]things, [Aadd9]I'll never [E]tell
Lord, You [F#min7]know them well[B7]

Verse 2

[E] Though I may be [Aadd9]you[B7]ng
[E] I see and [Aadd9]under[B7]stand
That at [C#min7]times like [G#min7]sheep [Aadd9]we go [E]astray
And [F#min7]things get out of hand[B7]

Chorus

So I [Aadd9]pro[E]mise [B7]to be [Aadd9]true [B7]to [E]You
To [Aadd9]live my life in [E]purity
As [F#min7]unto [B7]You
Waiting [Aadd9]for [E] the [B7]day
When I [Aadd9]hear [B7]You [E] say
Here [Aadd9]is the one I [E]have created
[F#min7]Just [B7]for [E] you

Repeat Intro

Verse 3

[E] Until then oh [Aadd9]Lo[B7]rd
[E] I will be [Aadd9] con [B7]tent
Knowing [C#min7]that true [G#min7]love
Will [Aadd9]come some [E] day
It will [F#min7]only come from [B7]You

Bridge

[C#min7] 'Cause I have seen the [G#min7]suffering
That [Aadd9]loneliness can [E] cause
[C#min7]When we choose to [G#min7]give our love [Aadd9]away
Without a rightous [B7]cause

Repeat Chorus
