Am       C             G
I can't account for human nature
Em
For your information
F       Am             D
I'm not one for controversy

So I ask forgiveness now
Am        C               G
Lord, reveal yourself in mercy

Call off all emergency
F                                  D
And look at things the way I see them
F
For the beauty of the Earth
   Am                C               G

Chorus:
                 Em7
I wanna love you (I wanna love you),
                  F
I wanna love you (I wanna love you)
                               Dm
Until the earth runs through it
                  F
I wanna love you (I wanna love you),
                  Am
I wanna love you (I wanna love you)
         C                  G
And I'm definitely gonna do it

For the love of mercy
In the face of all this danger
For the most of all my life
I feel as if I were a stranger
And all the consequences
From the throes of our persuasion
Lord, I ask for patience now
Call off all of your invasion
There's is beauty where I see it
Everywhere that I can feel it
I am on the verge of sorrow
Tell me, Lord, which road to follow
