Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken;
Em7             C2                   G2             D/F#
Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim.
        Em7                C2       G2               D/F#
With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom.
Em7                   C2       G           Dsus   D
Forgive me for my unbelief; renew the fire again.

Em7               C2           G                Dsus C2
I have built an altar where I worship things of man,
Em7              C2              G                D
I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You.
Em7           C2            G           Dsus   C2
Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flow – ing,

Pardon my transgressions, help me love You again.

I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your pres – ence;
