If my Gprayer be not Chumble make it Gso
In these Glast hours if the Spirit waits in check D7help me let it Cgo
And sEmhould my suffering Gdouble let me B7never love You Cless
Let Gevery knee be bent, and eD7very tongue Gconfess
And I Dwon't get D7better but someCday I'll be fGree
Cause I am Dnot this D7body that imCprisons Gme
I Gread the magaCzines somebody bGrought
GHold them to my failing eyes unD7til my hands get Chot
And Emwhen the nurse comes Gin to cB7hange my sheets and cClothes
The pGain begins to travel, D7dancing as it gGoes
And I Dwon't get D7better but someCday I'll be fGree
Cause I am Dnot this D7body that imCprisons Gme
  E7    Am7    D7     Gx4
If mGy prayer goes unCanswered that's alriGght
If mGy path fills with darkness and there D7is no sign of Clight
Let me Empraise You for the Ggood times, let me B7hold Your banner Chigh
GUntil the hills are flattened and the D7rivers all run Gdry
And I Dwon't get D7better but someCday I'll be fGree
Cause I am Dnot this D7body that imCprisons Gme
  E7    Am7    D7    Gx2
