INTRO

  B   B   





VERSE 1

G#m           F#           B             E

Picked up the book for the first time in ages

G#m             F#             B           E

Still washed me clean with the dust on the pages

   G#m       F#      B           E

My life is a story I struggle to write

       G#m          F#          B          C#m   F#

But is it one worth telling, is it one You like





CHORUS 1

E              B

  So who am I,   who am I

G#m             F#                       E

    Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son

                  B

A troubled child,   running wild

G#m             F#                   E

    Chasing the glory instead of the One

                 B        G#m                      F#

Who says that I,   even I     have something still left to offer

E              B

  So who am I,   who am I

G#m                                  

    To question the pen in the hands of The Author





TURN

  G#m   F#   B      E   





VERSE 2

     G#m        F#        B              E

Like every good story you learn from the loss

   G#m         F#         B                E

And I lost the plot every time I’ve played God

  G#m       F#         B       E

I live in a moment You already wrote

        G#m            F#           B           C#m   F#

And its proof that I’m someone, yea someone You love





CHORUS 1





TURN 2

  E   B   





BRIDGE 1

E             B

I see trauma, I see worthless

G#m               F#

You see something You can work with

E               B

I see weakness, I see failure

G#m               F#

You see something good on paper

E               B

I’ve seen ashes turn to beauty

G#m              F#

I’ve felt heaven working through me

E               B

I’ve seen panic turn to power

G#m                   F#

Felt Your peace in my darkest hour





BRIDGE 2

C#m

     What grace is this?

B/D#                  G#m            F#

    Called me by name     again and again and again and again

C#m

     What grace is this?

B/D#                     G#m              F#                  E

    Crossed out my shame     forgives me again and again and again

                         B

And again and again and again





CHORUS 2

 

      So who am I, God, who am I

G#m             F#                       E

    Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son

                  B

A troubled child,   still running wild

G#m             F#                   E

    Chasing the glory instead of the One

                 B        G#m                      F#

Who says that I,   even I     have something still left to offer

E              B

  So who am I,   who am I

G#m    F#                                   E        B                                 

    To question the pen in the hands of The Author
