Originally this song is in the Key of F#
so if you want to play with the track put a capo on the second fret.
But I've found when singing this live it's best to either play it in F (Capo 1)
or E (Open) because it has some significantly high notes.
Capo 2
Verse 1:
E B C#m A
To give unselfishly
E B C#m A
to love the least of these
E B C#m A E B C#m A
Jesus I'm learning how to live with open hands
Verse 2:
All these treasures that I own
will never satisfy my soul
Jesus I lay them at your throne with open hands

CHORUS:
E B
I lift my hands open wide
C#m E/G#
let the whole world see
A E C#m B
how you love, how you died, how you set me free
A E B C#m A E B E B C#m A
free at last, I surrender all I am with open hands, with open hands
Verse 3:
To finally let go of my plans
these earthly kingdoms built of sand
Jesus at your cross I stand with open hands
BRIDGE:
F#m E/G# A
You took the nails, You bore the crown
B C#m B
You hung your head, Your love poured out
F#m E/G# A
You took my place, You paid the price
B C#m B
so Jesus now I will give my life
