I recently attended Passion 2016 and was incredibly blessed there. I've never written tabs before, but I've
been inspired to make chord charts for the original songs introduced there. Everything in this tab is 100%
correct, and hopefully it can be an aid to you for if you're just learning it for yourself, or if you're
learning it for to lead a group in worship.
If you're watching the YouTube video of Crowder playing this song live, it shows that he has his guitar on
capo 3. I'm assuming that his guitar was tuned down a half step, as this song is in the key of A. I also did
my best to place chords directly above where they change in the song.
