 The first initial guitar riff is a quick-like walk down from Bm, A, to G, and back to A.
 You’ll have to listen to the actual song to hear how the chords change
 but it’s obvious.
Baby  I'll  be your soldier
Gladly  I'll  do your bidding
For  just a taste  of what you're  holding
For  just a taste  you could own me
 Save  your sermons for someone  thats  afraid to love
 (or just )
  I'll be right here lying in the hands of God
 (same chords as first verse)
 Here it comes dive right into me
 Now the floor is the ceiling
 If you never flew why would you?
 Cut the wings off a butterfly
Save  your  sermons,  for someone  who's afraid to love
If  you knew  what I feel,  than  you couldn't be so sure
 (or just )
 But I'll be right here, lying in the hands of God.

 If you  feel  angels  in your hair
 Teardrops  of joy  run down your  face
You  will  rise
 (same as verse 1)
 Fill me up now drain me
 Skin begins to grow back slowly
 Faster until I'm choking
 I really should call my mother
 Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love
 If you knew what I feel then you couldnt be so sure
 I'll be right here lying in the hands of God
 BRIDGE/CHORUS
I am  in love  with nothing  else
Teardrops  of joy  runs off my  face
 I will  rise
for  someone that's afraid  to love
 If you  knew what I feel  then you couldnt  be so sure
 (or just )
  I'll be right here lying in the hands of God
 (same as other verses)
 Now the floor is the ceiling
 If you never flew why would you
