Broken Praise(Chords)

	        

 



Intro: C  Em  D  Am  C  Em  D  C 

C                        Em                           D                            Am 
If one more person takes my hand and tries to say they understand 
 C                            Em                    D                        C 
Tells me there's a bigger plan that I'm not meant to see 
      C                         Em                      D                                Am 
If one more person dares suggest that I held something unconfessed 
 C                      Em                      D                       Am 
Tries to make the dots connect from righteousness to easy street 
        C                   Em            D             Am 
Well I, I won't deny I've relied on some assumptions 
      C              Em    D             C 
A man's honest life entitles him to something 

                    G                   D                 C           D 
But who am I to make demands of the God of Abraham? 
         G                            D                                    C                     D 
And who are You that You would choose to answer me with mercy new 
         Am                     Em                      G                 D 
How many more will wander past to find me here among the ashes 
Am                             Em 
Will you hold me? Will you stay? 
                  C                   D                  C     Em     G      D 
So I can raise this broken praise to You 

C                                Em               D                    Am 
Who else will see my suffering as one more opportunity 
         C                Em             D                       C 
To educate; to help me see all my flawed theology 
       C                     Em                    D                           Am 
If one more well intentioned friend tries to tie up my loose ends 
C                       Em                      D                       Am 
Hoping to, with rug and broom, sweep awkward moments from the room 
       C                 Em               D                   Am 
But I, I can't forget, I have begged just like a madman 
         C                 Em                    D                  C 
For my chance to die and never have to face the morning 

                    G                   D                 C           D 
But who am I to make demands of the God of Abraham? 
         G                            D                                    C                     D 
And who are You that You would choose to answer me with mercy new 
         Am                      Em                      G                 D 
How many more will wander past to find me here among the ashes 
Am                             Em 
Will you hold me? Will you stay? 
                  C                   D                  C     Em     G      D 
So I can raise this broken praise to You 

       C                    G               D             Am 
But You were the One who filled my cup 
C                    G               D             Am 
And You were the One who let it spill 
          C                        Em                    G             D 
So blessed be your Holy name if you never fill it up again 
      C                       Em                    G                             D 
If this is where my story ends, just give me one more breathe to say 
  C  Em G  D (2x)  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
  C  Em G  D (2x) 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
  C  Em G  D (2x) 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

For closing, repeat: C  Em  G   D
