Jimmy Needham - My Before And After

intro D#m * Bsus * F# * C#sus ( x2 )

verse1

Bsus F#
i said you gotta leave , you gotta promise me ,
D#m C#sus
it’s the beginning of my end , you gotta promise me ,
Bsus F#
how can a holy god renew a wicked pharisee ,
D#m C#sus ( let ring )
i’m sayin’ i’m like peter in the boat so just depart from me .
Bsus F#
it seems i’m destined for doom like ancient prophecy ,
D#m C#sus
and in the dark i’m consumed , it’s just too much for me ,
Bsus F#
with sin in full bloom my gloom booms by the full moon ,
D#m C#sus ( let ring )
and i’m thinkin’ to myself , how can you rescue me?

chorus

D#m Bsus F# C#sus
my before and after , i can’t but sing .
D#m Bsus F# C#sus
my before and after , i’ll sing praises to my king .
D#m Bsus F# C#sus
my before and after , here’s the anthem , let it ring ,
D#m Bsus F# C#sus
one love , two arms , three scars , draw us to where you are ,
D#m Bsus F# C#sus ( let ring )
no one is , too far , for you to save a heart .

C#sus interlude ( one bar )

verse 2

Bsus F#
then in the darkness of this room you snuck up next to me ,
D#m C#sus
you put your hand upon my wound and whispered , rest in me .

Bsus F#
and there i stepped out of the tomb and into destiny ,
D#m
the rest they say is history ,
C#sus ( let ring )
your grace is such a mystery .

to chorus

D#m * Bsus * F# * C#m ( x1 )

bridge

D#m Bsus
i got a name change , and that’s the strange thing ,
D#m Bsus
’cause i was once stained , now i’m called saint . ( x2 )

to chorus

D#m * Bsus * F# * C#sus ( x4 ) ( end on C# )

this is easiest to play with a capo on 2 . ( chords are not relative to that , these
are the true chords . )
