Verse 1: (play main riff 4 times)
If life is water, I was dry as Tucson dirt
If it's a gamble, I'd already lost my shirt
If it's a journey, I was dazed without a clue
I flipped a "U" back to the first love I ever knew

You give me joy that's unspeakable
D Am
And I like it, and I like it, yeah

You carried the cross and took my shame

You shine Your light of amazing grace
D Am Main Riff
I receive it, I receive it, yeah
Verse 2: (play main riff 4 times)
If life's a battle, the invasion is complete
If it's a rhythm, I have found the perfect beat
If it's a renaissance, I've got a new birthday
The world don't give it, and the world can't take it away
