     G              C              G       
If my prayer be not humble make it so 
         G                                       D7             C 
In these last hours if the Spirit waits in check help me let it go 
     Em                 G             B7             C 
And should my suffering double let me never love You less 
    G                        D7          G 
Let every knee be bent, and every tongue confess 


      D         D7             C            G 
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free 
           D        D7          C       G 
Cause I am not this body that imprisons me 


  G            C               G 
I read the magazines somebody brought 
G                              D7               C 
Hold them to my failing eyes until my hands get hot 
    Em                   G      B7                   C 
And when the nurse comes in to change my sheets and clothes 
     G                    D7              G 
The pain begins to travel, dancing as it goes 



      D         D7             C            G 
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free 
           D        D7          C       G 
Cause I am not this body that imprisons me 



E7  Am7  D7  G   (4x) 


    G               C                   G 
If my prayer goes unanswered that's alright 
    G                                    D7            C 
If my path fills with darkness and there is no sign of light 
       Em                 G                 B7                C 
Let me praise You for the good times, let me hold Your banner high 
G                                     D7             G 
Until the hills are flattened and the rivers all run dry 



      D         D7             C            G 
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free 
           D        D7          C       G 
Cause I am not this body that imprisons me 


E7  Am7  D7  G  (4x)
