1.  I was there to hear your borning cry 
        G                  Cmaj7 
I'll be there when you are old 
    G                  Cmaj7 
I rejoiced the day you were baptized 
   C        D      G 
To see your life unfold 

      C                   G 
I was there when you were but a child 
       Am       D        G 
With a faith to suit you well 
     C                  G        Em 
In a blaze of light you wandered off 
   A7                D   D7 
To find where demons dwell 

             G                Cmaj7 
2.  When you heard the wonder of the Word 
      G                  Cmaj7 
I was there to cheer you on 
         G                    Cmaj7 
You were raised to praise the living Lord 
   C        D     G   
To whom you now belong 

       C               G 
If you find someone to share your time 
        Am        D         G 
And you join your hearts as one 
        C             G           Em 
I'll be there to make your verses rhyme 
     A7               D   D7 
From dusk till rising sun 

           G           Cmaj7 
3.  In the middle ages of your life 
        G              Cmaj7 
Not too old, no longer young 
        G                  Cmaj7 
I'll be there to guide you through the night 
   C          D      G   G7 
Complete what I've begun 

         C              G 
When the evening gently closes in 
        Am        D 
And you shut your weary eyes 
        C               G      Em 
I'll be there as I have always been 
     A7               D   D7 
With just one more surprise 

          G                  Cmaj7 
4.  I was there to hear your borning cry 
        G                  Cmaj7 
I'll be there when you are old 
    G                  Cmaj7 
I rejoiced the day you were baptized 
   C        D      G 
To see your life unfold
