If I Stand Chords

(ver. 2)
Rich Mullins
Intro: Asus4 A Asus4 A 
Verse 1: 
        A               E              A
There's more that rises in the morning than the sun 
E          F#m          C#sus      C#         D
More that shines in the night than just the moon 
        Bm                  Esus4 E        A    E/G# F#m
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm 
     Bsus4            B                Esus4  E
In a shelter that is larger than this room 
          A               E               A
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment 
E            F#m            C#sus      C#     D
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing 
Bm            Esus4    E               A  E/G# F#m
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance 
      Bsus4        B                 Esus4  E
I owe only to the giver of all good things 

Chorus: 
        A             D            F#m          
So if I stand let me stand on the promise
    Bsus4      B       Esus4  E Esus4 E
That you will pull me through 
        Bm            D    
And if I can't let me fall 
        F#m              Esus4  E      A  D F#m E
On the grace that first brought me to you 
      A            D          F#m 
If I sing let me sing for the joy 
         Bsus4    B        Esus4 E Esus4 E
That has born in me these songs 
         Bm          D      F#m   
But if I weep let it be as a man
        Esus4  E   A     D  F#m E
Who is longing for his home 

Verse 2: 
        A                E               A
There's more that dances on the prairies than the wind 
E         F#m           C#sus C#       D
More than pulses in the ocean than the tide 
Bm                    Esus4  E         A             F#m
There's a love that fiercer than the love between friends 
     Bsus4          B                 Esus4          E
More gently than a mother's when her baby's at her side 
              A              E                  A
And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment 
E       F#m             C#sus      C#    D
A music higher than the songs that I can sing 
Bm            Esus4    E               A E/G# F#m
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance 
     Bsus4         B                Esus4  E
I owe only to the giver of all good things
