E G#m E G#m F# E G#m F#

[Verse 1]
G#m                                 E                              B
Look inside of me and see that I am not afraid
B
To walk inside the void like a kid inside a cave
G#m                              B                E                              B
Discovering the patterns of my soul and where it’s placed
G#m                B                              E                              B
I’ve been mapping many caverns but it still feels like a maze

[Pre-Chorus]

I know I’m made of clay that’s worn
B                              F#m
Blighted by imperfect form

But I will trust the artist molding me

Made in glory

When You guide me

Creature only

Look inside my heart and find a perilous ravine
G#m                                            B                E                B
Carved within the beauty, the darkness in between
G#m                              B                E                B
Standing in the balance of complete and incomplete
G#m                B                E                              B
I identify the echo of what is and what will be

[Pre-Chorus]

I know I’m made of clay that’s worn
D#m
Blighted by imperfect form
C#m                              E                              B
But I will trust the artist molding me
A
(aah-ah-ah)
C#m
In a room that’s growing dim
B                              D#m
Illuminated from within
C#m                B                F#     C#
The pull of tension’s empathy

[Outro]
A
Growing through the creature here
C#m
I’m trying to see when it’s unclear
E
Hidden in the space between
B
Hero and the enemy
A
Early days and sleepless nights
C#m
Death and resurrection, life

E
My body is a sacred note

Sung between the flesh and hope

My dirt transformed within a breath
C#m
Before I took a single step
F#
I’m looking forward to the day
B
When life can grow without decay
F#m
Humanity is not alone
F#
When Jesus Christ sits on the throne

F#
These hidden mirrors expose the mess
F#
The selfish turns to selflessness
A
Haunted by a darker side
G#m
Transcends to walking in the light
G#m
And slowly I’m recovering
G#m                              A
The beauty of discovery
C#m E G#m A
C#m E G#m A
C#m E G#m
