[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D A E A
When I started my journey in fresh childlike trust
D A E
I believed that the Lord's way was best
D A E A
I would read in His Word how He mothered the bird
D A E
And grieved when it fell from it's nest
D A E F#m
How I felt His delight when I chose to do right
D A E
And I prayed I would not make Him sad
D A E F#m
We would meet on the way in the cool of the day
D A E
What a pure sweet communion we had
[Chorus]
G D A D
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
G D A
More than ever I sit at His feet
G D A Bm
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
G D A
And He is so precious to me
[Verse 2]
D A E A
The road I have traveled has sometimes been steep
D A E
Through wild jagged places of life
D A E A
Sometimes I've stumbled and fallen so hard
D A E
That the stones cut my soul like a knife
D A E F#m
But the staff of my Shepherd would reach out for me
D A E
And lift me to cool pastures green
D A E F#m
With oil of the spirit anointing my wounds
D A E
There I'd rest by the clear healing stream
[Chorus]
G D A D
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
G D A
More than ever I sit at His feet
G D A Bm
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
G D A D A E
And He is so precious to me
[Verse 3]
D A E A
Is Love's Old Sweet Story too good to be true?
D A E
Do you find all this hard to believe?
D A E A
Has the cruel world we live in so battered your heart
D A E
That the hurt child inside you can't grieve?
D A
I can't say I blame you
E F#m
I've been where you are
D A
But all I can say is
E
It's true!
D
You're wanted
A
You're precious
E F#m
You're the love of His heart
D A E
And the old rugged cross was for you
[Chorus]
G D A D
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
G D A
More than ever I sit at His feet
G D A Bm
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
G D A
And He is so precious to me
G D A D
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
G D A
More than ever I sit at His feet
G D A Bm
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
G D A
And He is so precious to me
G D A
Oh He is so precious to me
G D A G D A
Yes He is so precious to me
