Strum
D-DU-UDU
 If my  prayer be not humble  make it so
 In these last  hours if the Spirit waits in check help  me let it go
 And should  my suffering double  let me never  love You less
 Let every  knee be bent, and every  tongue confess
 And I won't  get better  but someday  I'll be free
 Cause I am not  this body  that imprisons me
 I read  the magazines  somebody brought
Hold  them to my failing eyes until  my hands get hot
 And when  the nurse comes in  to change  my sheets and clothes
 The pain  begins to travel,  dancing as it goes
 And I won't  get better  but someday  I'll be free
 Cause I am not  this body  that imprisons me
 x4
 If my  prayer goes unanswered  that's alright
 If my  path fills with darkness and there is  no sign of light
 Let me praise  You for the good  times, let me  hold Your banner high
Until  the hills are flattened and the rivers  all run dry
 And I won't  get better  but someday  I'll be free
 Cause I am not  this body  that imprisons me
 x4
