[Intro]
C   Dm F
Am   C F
[Verse 1]
If grace was a kinCgdom
I stoFpped at the gCate
Thinking I don't desAmerve to pass thGrough
After aFll the mistGakes that I've mCade
COh, but I heard a whisper
As HeFaven bent dCown
He said, "Child, don't you kAmnow that the firGst will be laFst,
and the lGast get a crCown"
[Chorus]
And now IC'm just a beggar in the prDmesence oFf a King
I wAmish I could bring sCo much mFore
But if it's tCrue, YDmou use bFroken things
Then hAmere I am Lord, IF'm all YCours
[Interlude]
Dm F    Am   C F
[Verse 2]
The pages of hiCstory
FTell me it's tCrue
That it's never the pAmerfect
It's alGways the oFnes with the sGcars that you uCse
COh, it's the rebels and the prodigals
It's the huFmble and the wCeak
All the misfit hAmeroes You cGhose
Tell me thFere's hope for siGnners like Cme
[Chorus]
And now IC'm just a beggar in the prDmesence oFf a King
I wAmish I could bring sCo much mFore
But if it's tCrue, YDmou use bFroken things
Then hAmere I am Lord, IF'm all YCours
[Interlude]
Dm F    Am   C F
I'm all YoCursDm  F  
Am   C F
[Verse 3]
Grace is a kinCgdom with gaFtes open wCide
There's a seat at the tAmable just waGiting for yFou
So cGome on inCside

If grace was a kingdom

As Heaven bent down

and the last get a crown"

[Chorus]

And now I'm just a beggar in the presence of a King

Tell me it's true

That it's never the perfect

G F G C

It's always the ones with the scars that you use

All the misfit heroes You chose

Tell me there's hope for sinners like me

[Chorus]

And now I'm just a beggar in the presence of a King
