Intro:  Ohhs X4

Verse 1
Cadd9       G
I hear the clock beep, pull me out of my sleep
                  Em
Tell me there's a day ahead of me
          G
Trying to wake up, sipping on a hot cup
                Em
With the little lady in green


Pre-chorus
        Cadd9             G/B         Cadd9
And I'm praying 'bout the man I wanna be
                     G/B         Cadd9
Saying, God, please take all of me
D    Em                   Cadd9
And fill me up with Your love


Chorus
G                               G/B
Love, take these words that I'm speaking
Cadd9                                  D
Love, take these thoughts that I'm thinking
Em             Cadd9
Love, take me over
G                       G/B
Love, fill up all of my space and
Cadd9                         D
Love, stand right here in my place
Em               Cadd9
Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying
G                             Cadd9
Love, take me, love, take me over
G
Love, take me over

Ohhs    X2


Verse 2
Cadd9             G
This is what I'm sure of, I can only show love
              Em
When I really know how loved I am
            G
When it overtakes me, then it animates me
                 Em
Flowing from my heart into my hands


Pre-chorus
Cadd9                   G/B             Cadd9
So I'm praying, Father, help my heart believe
                            G/B    Cadd9
That right now You're singing over me
D   Em                   Cadd9
And fill me up with Your love
