VERSE 2:
All my life Your love has chased me, You have brought me to this place
And I know Your hand will bring me safely home by Your good grace
I remember how You sought me, wandering from the fold of God
G#m7 F# B/D# E2 F#sus B / / / / /
Precious Shepherd, You have saved me by Your own redeeming blood

E2 F#sus4
You will not leave me, never forsake me

You’re the God who brought me safe this far

I build an altar here to remember

B/D# E2 F#sus4
You have been good for all my days

VERSE 3:
Oh to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love
G#m7 F# B/D# E2 F#sus B
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it—seal it for Thy courts above
G#m7 F# B/D# E2 F#sus B / / / / /
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it—seal it for Thy courts above
