lyrics

Worth the While
by Jennie Riddle and Elizabeth Clark 2008

(verse 1)
Em D
I have waited all my life
C D Em
To see the Son of Man
Em D
In dark of night I've watched His star
C D Em
Rising in Bethlehem

(verse 2)
Em
There must be something
D
Special 'bout
C D Em
The baby born to us
Em
What do I chase
D
Or rather who?
C D Em
Would be worth this cost?

(pre)
Em Am
Will the journey be worth the while?
C D Em
Could He be the One?
Em Am
The Reward all for these miles?
C D Em
The One that heaven shines on?

(chorus)
C B Em
I need a Saviour
C D Em
I need a Saviour
C B Em
I need a Saviour
C D Em
I need a Saviour

(verse 3)
Em D
With empty heart I've gone in search
C D Em
In hopes that I'll be filled
Em
God only knows
D
Eager I am
C D Em
To find Him in the end

(pre)
Em Am
Will the journey be worth the while?
C D Em
Could He be the One?
Em Am
The Reward all for these miles?
C D Em
The One that heaven shines on?

(bridge)
C G D
We come bearing gifts
G D/F# C
As if we could bring You worth
C G D
If You are who we think You are
G D/F# C
You own all of heaven and earth
Am D
Then what do I offer poor as I am
Em D
Not owned yet by The King?
Em D
I really have nothing but myself
C D Em
So myself to You I bring.
