[Intro]
D G
Greater love hath no man than this
D A
That He lay down his life for His friends
G A
The way that He holds my broken heart together with His hands
D G
I hope I was right there for Him
D A
The way that He's right here for me
G A
With every step that I take and every breath I breathe
[Verse 1]
Bm G
He was right there as I walked off the front porch of our house
A
When I knew we'd never see it again
Bm G
'Neath the frozen sky that evening on the Mississippi
A Bm
As we prayed the ice wasn't too thin
G
He was with me when my husband signed on with the Battalion
A
And he marched off with five hundred men
Em
When I think no one could know
E A D
I know there is One who understands
[Bridge 1]
D G
It's so much more than the wounds in His hands
D A
More than the hole in His side
G A
More than the blood that spilled down beneath olive trees that night
[Verse 2]
Bm
He was with me in the wagon
G A
With the oxen draggin' us over every rock and ravine
Bm
My baby's fever wasn't breaking
G A Bm
Little body shaking so helpless I wanted to scream
G A
He was with me on the cold ground where I had just fallen down
Em
Beside the hole where they laid my little man
G
When I think no one could know
E A D
I know there is One who understands
[Bridge 2]
D Em D F#m Bm
Savior, the world was on Your shoulders
Em
For every drop of pain that fell in my name
G A
I'm forever thankful
[Verse 3]
G
He was with me in the canyon when I first laid eyes on
F#m Bm
The valley that He cut with his hands
G A
When I think no one can know
F#m Bm
When no one else could know
G
When I think no one can know
E A D
I remember One who understands
