Intro: B

Verse 1:
Abm           Gb           B             E
Picked up the Book for the first time in ages
Abm             Gb             B           E
Still washed me clean with the dust on the pages
   Abm       Gb      B           E
My life is a story I struggle to write
       Abm          Gb          B          Dbm   Gb
But is it one worth telling? Is it one You like?

Chorus:
E             B
  So who am I?  Who am I?
Abm            Gb                       E
   Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?
              B             Abm
Troubled child, running wild
            Gb                   E
Chasing the glory instead of the One
               B       Abm                    Gb
Who says that I, even I, have something still left to offer?
E             B
  So who am I?
Abm            (nc)
   Who am I to question the pen in the hands of the Author?

Instrumental: Abm Gb B E

Verse 2:
     Abm        Gb         B              E
Like every good story, you learn from the loss
    Abm        Gb         B             E
And I lost the plot every time I played God
  Abm       Gb         B       E
I live in a moment You already wrote
     Abm            Gb             B           Dbm  Gb
It's proof that I'm someone, yeah, someone You love

E             B
  So who am I?  Who am I?
Abm            Gb                       E
   Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?
              B             Abm
Troubled child, running wild
            Gb                   E
Chasing the glory instead of the One
               B       Abm                    Gb
Who says that I, even I, have something still left to offer?
E             B
  So who am I?
Abm            (nc)
   Who am I to question the pen in the hands of the Author?

Bridge:
E             B                Abm               Gb
I see trauma, I see worthless, You see something You can work with
E               B              Abm               Gb
I see weakness, I see failure, You see something good on paper
    E               B               Abm              Gb
And I've seen ashes turn to beauty, I've felt heaven working through me
E               B              Abm                   Gb Abm  B Ebm
I've seen panic turn to power, felt Your peace in my darkest hour
Dbm                   B                 Abm         Gb
   What grace is this? Called me by name again and again and again and again
Dbm                   B                    Abm            Gb                  E
   What grace is this? Crossed out my shame, forgives me again and again and again and again
     B
and again

So who am I? God, who am I?

Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?
              B                   Abm
Troubled child, still running wild
            Gb                   E
Chasing the glory instead of the One
               B       Abm                    Gb
Who says that I, even I, have something still left to offer?
