Verse 1:
G                                   Em7
I'm saying yes to You and no to my desires,
      C                       Am7              G
I'll leave myself behind and follow You.
                                                  Em7
I'll walk the narrow road, 'cause it leads me to You,
      C                        Am7             G
I'll fall, but grace will pick me up again.

You're dangerous but Lord, You're beautiful.
                                             Em7
I'll chase You through the pain, I'll carry my cross,
           C               Am7               G
'Cause real love is not afraid to bleed.
[Chorus]
