Phil Keaggy - Spend My Life With You Chords & Tabs

This is my favorite Phil Keaggy song of all time - and that's saying a lot, as he has an
incredible number of fantastic songs, whether vocal or instrumental. This simple "love
song for the Savior" is the one that takes the cake for me.

These are the official chords for the song, except that the chords have been simplified.
This song sounds great with these chords, but this is only the beginning as far as this
song goes. Phil Keaggy's official recordings of this song are as rich, beautiful, and
complex as you could ever ask for, and you could "spend your life" learning this song as it
should be played.

If you want to see and hear the best performance of this song that has ever been
recorded (in my opinion), check out this YouTube video (and the epic 'stache!):

Spend My Life With You - Phil Keaggy

D                    C         G           A
Lay me down to rest, Sing me a sweet lullaby,
G           G       D
When will I see you again? Sleep come over me,
C               G          A     G             D      G            C
Can't keep from closing my eyes. The day is gone, but You'll carry on,
D                G      E        D
Watching, protecting me into the dawn. Hmmm…
       Em                                D
Then another day to spend my life with you.

Cause there's a hope in my heart And I believe the day is coming
 E   D       G          A           Em             D

Over and over again. Shine Your light on me,
C          G            A     G             D        G          C
Wash me in resplendent love. There is no shame, with You as my aim.
D          G      E            D
Yesterday, today, forever the same. Hmmm…
       Em                                D
And I only want to spend my life with you.

In your presence Lord, there I will be satisfied,

Over and over again.
