Broken Praise by Todd Smith
[Intro]
C   Em   D   Am   C   Em   D   C
[Verse 1]
If Cone more person Emtakes my hand and Dtries to say they Amunderstand
CTells me there's a Embigger plan that DI'm not meant to Csee
If Cone more person Emdares suggest that DI held something Amunconfessed
CTries to make the Emdots connect from Drighteousness to Ameasy street
Well CI, I won't Emdeny I've reDlied on some aAmssumptions
A Cman's honest Emlife enDtitles him to Csomething
[Chorus 1]
But Gwho am I to Dmake demands Cof the God of DAbraham?
And Gwho are You that DYou would choose to Canswer me with Dmercy new
How Ammany more will Emwander past to Gfind me here aDmong the ashes
AmWill you hold me? EmWill you stay?
So I can Craise this broken Dpraise to YouC  Em  G  D  
[Verse 2]
Who Celse will see my Emsuffering as Done more opporAmtunity
To Ceducate; to Emhelp me see Dall my flawed theCology
If Cone more well inEmtentioned friend Dtries to tie up Ammy loose ends
CHoping to, with Emrug and broom, sweep Dawkward moments Amfrom the room
But CI, I can't forEmget, I have Dbegged just like a Ammadman
For Cmy chance to Emdie and never Dhave to face the Cmorning
[Chorus 1]
But Gwho am I to Dmake demands Cof the God of DAbraham?
And Gwho are You that DYou would choose to Canswer me with Dmercy new
How Ammany more will Emwander past to Gfind me here aDmong the ashes
AmWill you hold me? EmWill you stay?
So I can Craise this broken Dpraise to YouC  Em  G  D  
[Bridge 1]
But CYou were the GOne who Dfilled my cupAm  
And CYou were the GOne who Dlet it spillAm  
So Cblessed be your EmHoly name if you Gnever fill it Dup again
If Cthis is where my Emstory ends, just Ggive me one more Dbreathe to say
HalleClujah,     Em      G      DHalleClujahEm  G  D  
HalleClujah,     Em      G      DHalleClujahEm  G  D  
HalleClujah,     Em      G      DHalleClujahEm  G  D  
[Outro]

Broken Praise by Todd Smith

[Intro]

C Em D Am C Em D C

[Verse 1]

C Em D Am

If one more person takes my hand and tries to say they understand

C Em D C

Tells me there's a bigger plan that I'm not meant to see

C Em D Am

If one more person dares suggest that I held something unconfessed

C Em D Am

Tries to make the dots connect from righteousness to easy street

C Em D Am

Well I, I won't deny I've relied on some assumptions

C Em D C

A man's honest life entitles him to something

[Chorus 1]

G D C D

But who am I to make demands of the God of Abraham?

G D C D

And who are You that You would choose to answer me with mercy new

Am Em G D

How many more will wander past to find me here among the ashes

Am Em

Will you hold me? Will you stay?

C D C Em G D

So I can raise this broken praise to You

[Verse 2]

C Em D Am

Who else will see my suffering as one more opportunity

C Em D C

To educate; to help me see all my flawed theology

C Em D Am

If one more well intentioned friend tries to tie up my loose ends

C Em D Am

Hoping to, with rug and broom, sweep awkward moments from the room

C Em D Am

But I, I can't forget, I have begged just like a madman

C Em D C

For my chance to die and never have to face the morning

[Chorus 1]

G D C D

But who am I to make demands of the God of Abraham?

G D C D

And who are You that You would choose to answer me with mercy new

Am Em G D

How many more will wander past to find me here among the ashes

Am Em

Will you hold me? Will you stay?

C D C Em G D

So I can raise this broken praise to You

[Bridge 1]

C G D Am

But You were the One who filled my cup

C G D Am

And You were the One who let it spill

C Em G D

So blessed be your Holy name if you never fill it up again

C Em G D

If this is where my story ends, just give me one more breathe to say

C Em G D C Em G D

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

C Em G D C Em G D

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

C Em G D C Em G D

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Outro]

C Em G D

(Repeat)
