If I Ever Needed Grace Chords & Lyrics - Jimmy Needham

[INTRO]
[C#m] [A] [E] [B] [x2]

[VERSE 1]
I[C#m]t still feels like [G#m]yesterday,
A[C#m] lifetime of em[G#m]pty days,
My[A] hungry heart was desperate for a [E]meal. [B]
I [C#m]feasted on the B[G#m]read of Life,
Fo[C#m]rgiveness pierced me l[G#m]ike a knife,
And your[A] breath filled up my lungs and I could [E]feel. [B]
And I was[F#m] broken and al[G#m]l I could [B]say,

[CHORUS]
Was if I [C#m]ever needed [A]grace it's [E]now [B]
You are st[C#m]rong when I am [A]weak someh[B]ow
I am [C#m]weak enough to [A]see that I need[F#m] you to cover me
If I [A]ever needed [B]grace it's[C#m] now. [A] [E] [B]

[VERSE 2]
I [C#m]met the woman of [G#m]my dreams,
I [C#m]wanted to give her [G#m]everything,
But [A]fear came like a thief in the [E]night. [B]
But[C#m] my journal pages p[G#m]rophesied,
That[C#m] one day I'd make h[G#m]er my bride,
And s[A]oon, my best friend was wearing [E]white. [B]
With our [F#m]lives ahead [G#m]all I could [B]say,

[CHORUS]
Was if I [C#m]ever needed [A]grace it's [E]now [B]
You are st[C#m]rong when I am [A]weak someho[B]w
I am weak e[C#m]nough to [A]see that I need [F#m]you to cover me
If I [A]ever needed [B]grace it's [A]now.

[BRIDGE]
[A]In every joy and p[G#m]ain
Whatever comes my [F#m]way
B (opt F#m hold until you start verse 3)
God I need your grace

[VERSE 3]
[C#m]Nine short months til' [G#m]she arrived
[C#m]Little hands and [G#m]lions eyes
And [A]I'm so scared I don't have what it [E]takes. [B]
But I [C#m]hear your voice, "[G#m] ;Son lean on me,"
Fath[C#m]er give me [G#m]eyes to see
A[A]ll I need's the power of your [B]name

[CHORUS]
Was if I e[C#m]ver needed g[A]race it's n[E]ow [B]
You are [C#m]strong when I am [A]weak someh[B]ow
I am [C#m]weak enough to s[A]ee that I need [F#m]you to cover me
If I e[A]ver needed grace [G#m]
If I ever needed g[F#m]race [A]
If I e[A]ver needed [B]grace, it's [C#m]now... [A] [E]

There might be some rough spots like the bridge, but I did most of this by
ear. So hopefully it helps. And you can go back to any verse after you play
the outro by simply playing the 5 chord (B chord). Thank you, please give
feed back if possible, thanks and God Bless.
