More Than Ever

D A D A E D A E D D A E A When I started my journey in fresh childlike trust D A E I believed that the Lord's way was best D A E A I would read in His Word how He mothered the bird D A E And grieved when it fell from it's nest D A E F#m How I felt His delight when I chose to do right D A E And I prayed I would not make Him sad D A E F#m We would meet on the way in the cool of the day D A E What a pure sweet communion we had G D A D Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross G D A More than ever I sit at His feet G D A Bm All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true G D A And He is so precious to me D A E A The road I have traveled has sometimes been steep D A E Through wild jagged places of life D A E A Sometimes I've stumbled and fallen so hard D A E That the stones cut my soul like a knife D A E F#m But the staff of my Shepherd would reach out for me D A E And lift me to cool pastures green D A E F#m With oil of the spirit anointing my wounds D A E There I'd rest by the clear healing stream G D A D Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross G D A More than ever I sit at His feet G D A Bm All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true G D A D A E And He is so precious to me D A E A Is Love's Old Sweet Story too good to be true? D A E Do you find all this hard to believe? D A E A Has the cruel world we live in so battered your heart D A E That the hurt child inside you can't grieve? D A I can't say I blame you E F#m I've been where you are D A But all I can say is E It's true! D You're wanted A You're precious E F#m You're the love of His heart D A E And the old rugged cross was for you G D A D Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross G D A More than ever I sit at His feet G D A Bm All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true G D A And He is so precious to me G D A D Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross G D A More than ever I sit at His feet G D A Bm All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true G D A And He is so precious to me G D A Oh He is so precious to me G D A G D A Yes He is so precious to me
