This song is played tuned down half a step, but I try to avoid that
whenever possible. You can cheat by putting a capo on 2 on standard
tuned guitar, but Ill include both ways for those who want to play it
like on the CD.

C Em7 Am
The morning finds me here at heaven's door
C Em7 Am
A place I've been so many times before
C Em7 Am
Familiar thoughts and phrases start to flow
C Em7 Am Fmaj7
And carry me to places that I know so well
C Em7 Am
But dare I go where I don't understand
C Em7 Am
And do I dare remember where I am
C Em7 Am
I stand before the great eternal throne
C Em7 Am
The one that God himself is seated on
(Guitar comes in)
F
And I, I've been invited as a son
Fm
Oh I, I've been invited to come and

Believe the unbelievable

And see beyond my wildest imagination

Lord I come with great expectations
