Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on Jeremiah 1:5, Acts 17:25

[Verse 2]
It could have gone either way [C]when it
came down to [D]the choice
To [Em]keep the life within a [C]life that had no [D]voice
It [G]must have surely seemed
the [C]harder road [D]to choose
To [Em]be so young to have to say
who [C]had the most [D]to lose
But she [G]came through like a champ
and she [C]blessed the world that [D]day
Then [Em]gave the hope of a better life
when [C]she gave him [D]away
[G]Now the innocence and joy is
[C]there each [G]day [D]he wakes
Ex[Em]pressions of his [C]love [G]of life
in [Am]every breath he [D]takes
He [C]could have been thrown [G]away be
[C]fore he had a chance to [D]say

[Verse 3]
(Chorus) [F]Hey
world, I am [Am]here and I
[F]have something to [G]give
Hey [F]world, [Am]I'm a[C]live and I
am [F]wanting [G]to [F]live

[Verse 4]
[Am]He t[F]urne[G]d [F]to lock[C][F]
[Bb][G]
the door as he [C]wiped away [D]a tear
The [Em]hopelessness of missing love,
[C]his adolescent [D]fear
As he [G]struggled for the strength
to [C]put the gun [D]away
He [Em]found the courage [C]and
[G]the hope to [Am]face an[G]other [D]day
He [C]could have been blown [G]away be[C]fore he had a chance to [D]say[Dm][F]
[Am][F]

[Verse 5]
Down the [Cm]corridor or life in
[Ab]between our death and [Bb]birth
We may [Cm]start to lose our way in
[Ab]the search to find our [Bb]worth
[F#]Our value come[C#]s in t[F#]he fact we live[Ab]
[E]Life is a g[B]ift only God[A] can[B] giv[C#m]e[Em]
