G5          F#5      
Far better is to be with You 
 
   E5      C5
Even for a day 
  
      G5        F#5
Than to live a thousand years 

  E5       
And to never see 

 C5
One glimpse of Your face 

G5            F#5
As for me I want to be 

 C5
Close to You 
 
  G5            F#5
All my days I want to live 

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 
 

  D5
I want to be 
   
G5
A friend of God
