Now its heavy keyboard and ebow pretty much, but ive put the chords just in case you want to play it on the guitar

F                               Dm
I’ll take off my shoes, I’m coming in,
Am                         G
Untie this rope, I’m staying with him,
F                       Dm
Love of my life, I’ll live and die,
Am                                    G
Just for the moments for my king and I.

F                               Dm
Why did you call, why did you wait,
Am                              G
For someone so guilty, someone so fake.
F                                    Dm
There are no words for my beautiful song,
Am                                   G
Now I’m in the arms of my beautiful one.

Chorus - on this notes are held long.. just use one strum down. - electric uses clean sound and bit of vibrato..

Hold me, blow all the pride from my bones,
                Am7 F
With your fire.

Hold me, breathe on this heart made of stone,
            Am7
Keep it pure.

Next Verses - Do same chords as first set of verses. the rest of chorus is below

I’ll take off this crown and fall at your feet,
The secret of joy are the moments we meet.
How could a man with all of your fame,
Pull me from darkness and call me by name.

So hold me today, as I carry your cross,
Into the desert to find who is lost.
Look at my hands, they’re still full of faith,
God keep them clean till we finish the race.

F      C    Am7      F                  F   C
Hold me, saviour of heaven and earth,
         Am7  F
King forever.
F      C    Am7       F             F    C
Hold me, love of my life lead me on,

Through the fire,
