suggestions, please comment! God bless! :)
Broken Praise by Todd Smith

Capo 1
Intro: C Em D Am C Em D C
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
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
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
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
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 (2x)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em G D (2x)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em G D (2x)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
For closing, repeat: C Em G D
