Chords for Rich Mullins - If I Stand (Wheaton College 1997)

_ So thank you for listening.
I [C] will play another song now. _ _ _ _
More that [G] rises in the morning [C] than the sun
_ _ _ [G] _ [Am] More that shines in the night [E] than just [F] the moon
_ [C] It's _ [Dm] _ _
more than [C] just this fire here that [G] keeps [Am] me warm
And a shelter [D] that is larger than this [G] room
_ _ _ _ [C] It's a loyalty _ [G] that's deeper than [C] mere _ sentiments
_ [G] The [Am] music higher than the [E] songs that I [F] can sing
_ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[C] Stuff of earth competes with the [G] _ _
[Am] allegiance
_ I [D] owe only to the _ giver of [A] all good _ things
[G] _ So if [C] I _ stand, let [F] me stand on [Am] the _ promise
[D] That you will [C] pull me through
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And if [D] I can't, [C] let [F] me fall [Am] on the grace
That [C] first [G] brought [C] me to _ [F] you
_ [G] [Am] And _ _
_ [C] _ _ if I sing, let [F] me sing [Am] for the joy
[D] That is born in me, [C] _ these _ _ [G] _ _ _ songs _
_ _ _ If [D] I weep, [C] [F] let it be [Am] as a man
[C] Who is [G] longing [C] for _ [F] his home
[G] _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ There's more that [G] dances on these [C] prairies than the wind
_ _ [G] More [Am] that pulses in the [E] ocean [F] than the tide
_ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ There's a [C] love that is fiercer than the [G] love [Am] between friends
More gentle than [D] a mother when [C] there's a baby at [G] her's
_ [C] It's a loyalty [G] that's deeper than [C] mere _ _ sentiments
[G] And a [Am] music higher than the [E] songs that [F] I can _ sing
_ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[G] Stuff of earth competes [C] with the _ [G] _ _
[Am] allegiance
I owe [D] only to the giver of all [C] good _ [G] things
_ So [C] if I stand, let [F] me stand [Am] on the _ promise
[D] That you will pull [C] me _ _ [G] through _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And if [D] I can't, [C] [F] let me fall [G] [Am] on the grace
That [C] first [G] brought [C] me to _ [F] you
_ [G] _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [G] _ And [C] if I sing, let [F] me sing for [Am] the joy
[D] That is born in me, [C] _
these _ [G] songs _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And if [Dm] I _ [C] weep, [F] let it be [Am] as a man
Who [C] is [G] longing _ [C]
for his [F] home
_ [G] _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] And if [Dm]
I weep, [C] let [F] it be [G] as [Am] a _ man
Who [C] is _ longing _ [G] _ _
_ for _ [C] _ _ his _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ home _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Thank _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
[G] _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ you all for listening.
You're dismissed.
