Jonathan Pierce - To be a christian

To be a ^GChristian Is to bear an^G/Bother's l^Coad To c^G/Barry wh^Amat they hold When they can't ^Dwalk another day^D7 To be a ^GChristian Is h^G/Bolding ^Cout a hand To ^G/Bhelp an^Amother stand^G When every^Fone has turned aw^Day To be a ^GChristian^C

They ^Gsat there all alone^G/B C C-G/B-Am Their mother almost gone ^AmTheir hope was passing ^DPassing with the t^D7ime Should I ^Bmturn and walk aw^Cay Or hold their ^Amhand and simply s^Am/Gay I may not ^Amknow your name But I^G/B can find In my ^Cheart to share your p^Dain And in my ^Amprayers to speak your n^G/Bame You're not al^Cone

It isn't ^Galways understood^G/B C C-G/B-Am That through our worst God is good ^AmBut when we act with love It ^Dsays so much ^D7more There is ^Bmsomething said of gr^Cace When it's ^Amwritten on a f^Am/Gace That can ^Amtouch a heart it's never ^G/Btouched before For to ^Ctruly be like Ch^Drist It's not a ^Csacrifice

^DTo be a ^GChristian Is h^G/Bolding o^Cut a hand To ^G/Bhelp an^Amother stand^G When every^Fone has turned aw^Day C C-G/B-Am To be a Christian Is ^Dgiving love aw^Gay

^DWishing doesn't make the heart stop from hurting And ^G/Bhoping doesn't stop some^E7one from crying But ^Am7mercy falls so fr^Am7/Gee To ^Amthose who w^G/Bill believ^Ce ^D Just ^Amtake another ^G/Blook at ^Cme ^D

To be a ^GChristian Is to bear an^G/Bother's l^Coad To c^G/Barry wh^Amat they hold When they can't ^Dwalk another day^D7 To be a ^GChristian Is ho^G/Blding o^Cut a hand To ^G/Bhelp an^Amother stand^G When every^Fone has turned aw^Day C C-G/B-Am To be a Christian Is ^Dgiving love aw^Gay
