[Intro]
G 

[Verse 1]
         G
And I've scaled all the highest of mountains
         G
And I've stood at the edge of their peaks
      Em7                       C
But I still couldn't see to the edge of
     D        G
Your love for me

[Verse 2]
         G
And I've walked on the wildest of waters
         G
And I've sunk to the depths of the sea
      Em7                       C
But I still couldn't fathom the depths of
     D        G
Your love for me

[Chorus]
        Em           C
Canyons wide, oceans deep
         G                      D
Can't contain all Your love for me
              Em            C
No matter how high or far I reach
           D                    G
There's no end to Your love for me

[Verse 3]
         G
And I've wrestled belief in the valley
      G
And I barely hung on through the night
    Em                         C
But just when I thought it was darkest
    D            G
The sun began to rise
