Broken Praise by Todd Smith




                            Broken Praise





Capo 1

Intro: C  Em  D  Am  C  Em  D  C

C                        Em                           D                            Am
If one more person takes my hand and tries to say they understand
 C                            Em                    D                        C
Tells me there's a bigger plan that I'm not meant to see
      C                         Em                      D                                Am
If one more person dares suggest that I held something unconfessed
 C                      Em                      D                       Am
Tries to make the dots connect from righteousness to easy street
        C                   Em            D             Am
Well I, I won't deny I've relied on some assumptions
      C              Em    D             C
A man's honest life entitles him to something

                    G                   D                 C           D
But who am I to make demands of the God of Abraham?
         G                            D                                    C                     D
And who are You that You would choose to answer me with mercy new
         Am                     Em                      G                 D
How many more will wander past to find me here among the ashes
Am                             Em
Will you hold me? Will you stay?
                  C                   D                  C     Em     G      D
So I can raise this broken praise to You

C                                Em               D                    Am
Who else will see my suffering as one more opportunity
         C                Em             D                       C
To educate; to help me see all my flawed theology
       C                     Em                    D                           Am
If one more well intentioned friend tries to tie up my loose ends
C                       Em                      D                       Am
Hoping to, with rug and broom, sweep awkward moments from the room
       C                 Em               D                   Am
But I, I can't forget, I have begged just like a madman
         C                 Em                    D                  C
For my chance to die and never have to face the morning

                    G                   D                 C           D
But who am I to make demands of the God of Abraham?
         G                            D                                    C                     D
And who are You that You would choose to answer me with mercy new
         Am                      Em                      G                 D
How many more will wander past to find me here among the ashes
Am                             Em
Will you hold me? Will you stay?
                  C                   D                  C     Em     G      D
So I can raise this broken praise to You

       C                    G               D             Am
But You were the One who filled my cup
C                    G               D             Am
And You were the One who let it spill
          C                        Em                    G             D
So blessed be your Holy name if you never fill it up again
      C                       Em                    G                             D
If this is where my story ends, just give me one more breathe to say
  C  Em G  D (2x) 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
  C  Em G  D (2x)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
  C  Em G  D (2x)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

For closing, repeat: C  Em  G   D
