Intro:
[B]
Verse 1:
[Abm]Picked up the [Gb]Book for the [B]first time in [E]ages
[Abm]Still washed me [Gb]clean with the [B]dust on the [E]pages
My [Abm]life is a [Gb]story I [B]struggle to [E]write
But is [Abm]it one worth [Gb]telling? Is [B]it one You [Dbm]like? [Gb]
 
Chorus:
[E] So who am I?[B]I? Who am I?
[Abm] Am I just a [Gb]poor preacher's prodigal [E]son?
Troubled child[B]child, running wild[Abm]wild
Chasing the [Gb]glory instead of the [E]One
Who says that I[B]I, even I[Abm]I, have something still [Gb]left to offer?
[E] So who am I?[B]I?
[Abm] Who am I to question the pen in the hands of the Author?

And [E]I've seen ashes [B]turn to beauty, [Abm]I've felt heaven [Gb]working through me
[E]I've seen panic [B]turn to power, [Abm]felt Your peace in my [Gb]dar[Abm]darkest [B]ho[Ebm]hour
[Dbm] What grace is this?[B] Called me by name[Abm] again and a[Gb]gain and again and again
