A song for the morning.
[CAPO 3: C, G, F, Am and variations]
Verse 1 - G/C
Who am I to put this pen to paper
Who am I to write the Divine down
An ode from the creature to Creator
Cheap ink against the blood that You poured out
Pre-Chorus 1 - F/Am/C/G
They say that I will know You one day
No longer pen to paper: face-to-face
Please accept my offering now
A shadow of the Love I'm trying to crown
Verse 2 - G/C
Who am I to put this pen to paper
Who am I to make this all make sense
In an ode from the creature to Creator
Nothing I ever say will recompense
Pre-Chorus 2
They say that I will know You one day
No longer pen to paper: face-to-face
But until that paper veil is gone
I'll content myself with the words of Your song
An ode from Creator to His creature
Oh ears, won't you open to the Speaker:
Child, whatever else, I'm your Father,
So bring all that you have to offer
Firstfruits from your poet heart's fodder
Put that pen to paper; I'll do the rest
CHORUS - C/F/C/G - C/Am
Don't forget to breathe the autumn breeze
You're one step closer to eternity
For this is what it means to be with Me
Poetry in the in-between
Pen to paper, you are with me
Pre-Chorus 3
I say that I will know you one day
No longer pen to paper: face-to-face
I will accept your offering now
It's a shadow today but soon you'll wear a crown
CHORUS
Don't forget to breathe the autumn breeze
You're one step closer to eternity
For this is what it means to be with Me:
Poetry in the in-between
Pen to paper, you are with me
Tag
It's a shadow today but soon you'll wear a crown
Pen to paper, you are with Me now
