If I Stand Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]There's more that rises in[D]
the morning than [G]the sun
And [D]more that [Em]shines in [Bm]the night
than just the [C]moon
There's [Am]more than just this [D]fire
here [G]that keeps [D]me [Em]warm
In a [Asus4]shelter t[A]hat is larger than
this [Dsus4]room[D]

[Verse 2]
And there's a [G]loyalty that's [D]deep
er than mere sen[G]timents
And a [D]music [Em]higher than
[Bm]the songs that I can [C]sing
[Am]Stuff of Earth[D] competes
for the [G]allegi[D]ance
[Em]I owe only[Asus4] to[A]
the Giver of [Dsus4]all good things
[D]So if I stand

[Verse 3]
[G]let me [C]stand on the promise[Em]
[Asus4]that you will [A]pull me [Dsus4]through[D][Dsus4]
[D]And if I c[Am]an't, let me [C]fall on the[Em] grace
that first [D]brought me [G]to [C]You[Em]
[D]So if I s[G]ing let me [C]sing for the[Em] joy that has[Asus4] born
[A]in me [Dsus4]these son[D]gs[Dsus4][D]
And if I [Am]weep let it [C]be as [Em]a man who is [G]longing
[D]for [G]his hom[C]e[Em][D]

[Verse 4]
And there's [G]more that dances
[D]on the prairies than [G]the wind
And [D]more that [Em]pulses in the
[Bm]ocean than the [C]tide
[Am]There's a love that's fier[D]cer than
the [G]love [D]between [Em]friends
More [Asus4]gentle th[A]an a mother's when her
[D]baby's [Dsus4]at her si[D]de

[Verse 5]
And there's a [G]loyalty that's [D]deep
er than mere sen[G]timents
And a [D]music [Em]higher than
[Bm]the songs that I [C]can sing
[Am]The stuff of Earth[D] competes
for the [G]alle[D]giance
[Em]I owe only[Asus4] to the Give[A]r
of all good [Dsus4]things
[D]So if I stand

[Verse 6]
[G]let me [C]stand on the[Em] promise that You[Asus4]
[A]will pull [Dsus4]me throug[D]h[Dsus4][D]
And if [Am]I can't let [C]me fall on [Em]the grace that first
[D]brought me [G]to [C]You[Em][D]
And if [G]I sing let [C]me sing for [Em]the joy that [Asus4]has born
[A]in me [Dsus4]these son[D]gs[Dsus4][D]
And if I [Am]weep let it [C]be as [Em]a man who
is [G]longing [D]for [G]his hom[C]e[Em]
[D]So if I stand

[Verse 7]
[G]let me stand on the promise
[G]You will [Am]pull [D]me through
[D]And if I[Am] can't let m[C]e fall on t[Em]he grace
that first [D]brought me [G]to [C]You[Em]
[D]And if I s[G]ing let me [C]sing for the[Em] joy that has[Asus4] born
[A]in me [Dsus4]these son[D]gs[Dsus4][D]
And if I [Am]weep let it [C]be as [Em]a man who is
[G]longing [D]for [G]his hom[C]e[Em][D]

[Verse 8]
And if I [Am]weep let it [C]be as [Em]a man
who is [G]longing [D]for [G]home
