 Key:
 It  still feels like yesterday,
 A  lifetime of empty  days,
 My  hungry heart was desperate for a meal.
 I feasted  on the Bread  of Life,
 Forgiveness  pierced me like  a knife,
 And your  breath filled up my lungs and I could feel.
 And I was  broken and all  I could say,
 Was if I ever  needed grace  it's now
 You are strong  when I am weak  somehow
 I am weak  enough to see  that I need  you to cover me
 If I ever  needed grace  it's  now.
 I met  the woman of my  dreams,
 I wanted  to give her everything,
 But fear  came like a thief in the night.
 But  my journal pages prophesied,
 That  one day I'd make her  my bride,
 And soon,  my best friend was wearing white.
 With our lives  ahead all  I could say,
 Was if I ever  needed grace  it's now
 You are strong  when I am weak  somehow
 I am weak enough  to see  that I need you  to cover me
 If I ever  needed grace  it's now.
In  every joy and pain
 Whatever comes my way
  B (opt Fm hold until you start verse 3)
 God I need your grace
Nine  short months til' she  arrived
Little  hands and lions  eyes
 And I'm  so scared I don't have what it takes.
 But I hear  your voice, "Son lean  on me,"
 Father  give me eyes  to see
 All  I need's the power of your name
 Was if I ever  needed grace  it's now
 You are strong  when I am weak  somehow
 I am weak  enough to see  that I need you  to cover me
 If I ever  needed grace
 If I ever needed grace
 If I ever  needed grace,  it's now...
 There might be some rough spots like the bridge, but I did most of this by
 ear. So hopefully it helps. And you can go back to any verse after you play
 the outro by simply playing the 5 chord (B chord). Thank you, please give
 feed back if possible, thanks and God Bless.
