Jimmy Needham - If I Ever Needed Grace Guitar Chords

Key: E
Intro:
C#m  A  E  B [x2]

Verse 1:
 C#m                Abm
It still feels like yesterday,
 C#m            Abm
A lifetime of empty days,
  A                                 E      B
My hungry heart was desperate for a meal.
  C#m             Abm
I feasted on the Bread of Life,
  C#m                   Abm
Forgiveness pierced me like a knife,
        A                                      E      B
And your breath filled up my lungs and I could feel.
         F#m           Abm       B
And I was broken and all I could say,

Chorus:
         C#m         A          E     B
Was if I ever needed grace it's now
          C#m            A         B
You are strong when I am weak somehow
     C#m            A              F#m
I am weak enough to see that I need you to cover me
     A           B         C#m   A   E   B
If I ever needed grace it's now.

Verse 2:
  C#m              Abm
I met the woman of my dreams,
  C#m                Abm
I wanted to give her everything,
    A                             E      B
But fear came like a thief in the night.
   C#m                Abm
But my journal pages prophesied,
    C#m                Abm
That one day I'd make her my bride,
     A                               E        B
And soon, my best friend was wearing white.
         F#m         Abm         B
With our lives ahead all I could say,

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

Bridge:                        
A                 Abm
In every joy and pain
                  F#m
Whatever comes my way
                  B    (opt F#m hold until you start verse 3) 
God I need your grace

Verse 3:
C#m                    Abm
Nine short months til' she arrived
C#m              Abm
Little hands and lions eyes
    A                                  E        B
And I'm so scared I don't have what it takes.
      C#m                   Abm
But I hear your voice, "Son lean on me,"
    C#m        Abm
Father give me eyes to see
 A                             B
All I need's the power of your name

Chorus:
          C#m         A          E        B
Was if I ever needed grace it's now
        C#m              A         B
You are strong when I am weak somehow
     C#m             A              F#m       
I am weak enough to see that I need you to cover me
      A                    Abm
If I ever needed grace
                  F#m         A
If I ever needed grace
      A          B           C#m       A     E
If I ever needed grace, it's now...
