1. [G]If I could have the [D]world and [C]all it [G]owns
A [C]thousand [Em6]kingdoms, a [Am]thousand [D7]thrones
If [Em]all the [C]earth were [D7]mine to [G]own, with [C]wealth my [D7]only [G]goal
I'd [G]spend my [D]gold on [C]selfish [G]things
With[C]out the [Em6]love that [Am7]your life [D7]brings
Just a "[Em]little bit [Am7]more" was [D7]all I'd [G]need 'til [C]life was [Am7]torn from [G]me.
CHORUS
[C]I'd rather [Bm]be in the [Em]palm of [D7]your [Em6]hand[D7]
[C]Though rich or [Am7]poor I may [G]be.
C Bm Em D7 Em6 D7 ?
Faith can see right through the circumstance;
Sees the [A]forest in [A7]spite of the [D7]trees.[C] [D7]
[CODA] Your [C]grace pro[Em6]vides [Am7]for [G]me.

2. If I should [G]walk the [D]streets, no [C]place to [G]sleep,
No [C]faith in [Em6]promi[Am7]ses you [D7]keep.
I'd [Em]have no [C]way to [D7]buy my [G]bread with a [C]Bible [D7]for my [G]bed.
But if I [G]trust the [D]one who [C]died for [G]me, Who [C]shed His [Em6]blood to [Am7]set me [D7]free
If I [Em]live my [Am7]life to [D7]trust in [G]you, your [C]grace will [Am7]see me [G]through.

If I could [G]have the [C2]world ... [etc. fade]
