I Am Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I[Bm][Em][D]
[Em]could travel over oceans,
cross the [C]deserts, climb the [Em]mountains
Just to share [F]your story, [Em]bring you glory,
and [C]win souls for you.
I could [A]sing like an [C]angel, songs so
humble [Em]and s[C]o thankful
Full [Em]of drama and em[F]otion,
so [Em]the world would know your truth.
I could give away my [C]money
and my clothes and my food
To [A]restore those people who are poor,
lost, and [C]down- and- out.
Oh, I could [A]succeed at all these things,
Find [C]favor [D]with pea[Em]sants and kings,
But if I [C]do not love, I am nothing.

[Verse 2]
I could live [D]a flawless l[Em]ife,
Never cheat [C]or steal or lie,
And always speak so [Em]kindly,
smile warmly, and go [D]about doing good.
[A]I could dedicate myself to do what
[Am]everyone [D]else wants me to-
Listen [D#]to them, [F]compliment [D#]them,[F][Em]
say the things I should.
I could [C]show [D]up every Sunday,
lead the choir and [Em]bible study
And they all might come [F]to know
me as a leader and a friend.
[Dm]Oh, I could achieve success [Em]on earth,
but success cannot [C]define [D]my [A]worth
And all these actions,
all these words, will [C]not matter in [A]the end-
[C]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Songs [Em]will fade to silence,
[C]Stories, they will cease.
The [D]dust will settle,
[Em]covering all my selfless[C] deeds.
So as [Em]I st[D]rive to serve you,
[A]Won't you make it clear to me,
If [Am]I do [D]not[D#] love, I am nothing.

[Verse 4]
[F]If I cannot live my [Gm]life
loving my brother[F],
Then how [Bb]can I love [C]the
one who lived his life for me?

[Verse 5]
Sent to earth from heaven, [D#]Humble servant,
[F]holy king,
[G]Come to share a story, [C]get no glory,
[G]and save my [F]searching[Dm] soul,
You knew that [Em]I'd deny you, crucif[C]y you,
but nothing could stop you [Am]from
[A]Living for[G] me, dyi[C]ng for me,
[D]so that [Em]I would [C]kno[D]w-[Em]

[Verse 6]
[C]Songs [Em]will fade [D]to s[A]ilen[Am]ce,[D]
Stories will cease,
[Em]The dust will [C]settle covering
these selfless deeds.
But [D]your life [Em]here [C]has [Em]made
it [D]clear [A]enough for me to see
That if I do not [Am]love,
[D]I a[D#]m not[F]hing[D#]
