Em9 Em9
Once I prayed -- I knew not what I said --
Em D/F# G Am7 G/B CM7 Am/D?
"Show me myself, O Lord!". Alas, I did not dread
Em A D D/F# G
The hideous sight which now I shudder to behold
C#m7 F#7 Bm7 ?
Because I knew not self aright.
And I was led in answer to my prayer
As step by step to see my wretched heart laid bare
Then I prayed "Stay, Lord, I cannot bear the sight!"
E7 AM7 - A6 - AM7 - A6
And pityingly His hand was stayed, His hand was stayed.
C - D/C - C - D/C
GM7 - CM7 - Am7 - Bm7
Em9 x4
Now I pray -- I know the prayer is right --
"Show my Thyself, O Lord. Be to my soul the Bright
And Morning Star to shine upon the grave of self
And lead my heart from earth afar!" from earth afar.
