[Intro]
C Dm F Am G F
[Verse 1]
C
If grace was a kingdom
F C
I stopped at the gate
Am
Thinking I don't deserve
G F G C
to pass through after all the mistakes that I've made
C
Oh but I heard a whisper
F C
As Heaven bent down
Am G F G C
He said, "Child, don't you know that the first will be last and the last get a crown"
[Chorus]
C Dm F
And now I'm just a beggar in the presence of the King
Am C F
I wish I could bring so much more
C Dm F
But if it's true, You use broken things
Am F C
Then here I am LORD, I'm all Yours
[Interlude]
Dm F Am C F
[Verse 2]
C F C
The pages of history tell me it's true
Am G F G C
That it's never the perfect, it's always the ones with the scars that you use
C F C
It's the rebels and the prodigals; it's the humble and the weak
Am G F G C
All the misfit heroes You chose tell me there's hope for sinners like me
[Chorus]
C Dm F
Now I'm just a beggar in the presence of the KING
Am C F
I wish I could bring so much more
C Dm F C Am F C
but if it's true YOU use broken things then here I am LORD, I'm all Yours
[Interlude]
Dm F Am C F x2
[Verse 3]
C F C
Grace is a kingdom with gates open wide
Am G F
There's a seat on table just waiting for you
G C
So come on inside
