***Intro***

***Verse 1***
Em         D              G     Em                  D            G  
  In open fields of wild flowers  She breathes the air and flies away
                               Em               D       G   
(she thanks her Jesus for) the daisies and the roses in no simple language
Em         D              G     
  Someday she'll understand (the meaning of it all) 
Fsus                                   G
    He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens 
Fsus                          G
 As close as a heartbeat or a song on her lips 
Fsus                          G
 Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him 
Fsus                        Am7
 Someday He'll call her and she will come running 
Abmaj7                 Em              D               G
 fall in His arms, the tears will fall down and she'll pray


***Chorus***
G         C2                   Am7           Em      D            G
I want to fall in love with You,   I want to fall in love with You
          C2                   Am7           Em      D         Em  D 
I want to fall in love with You,   I want to fall in love with You hoo

G          Em  D   G
Ooo You    You hoo ooo


***Verse 2***
Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
(A great salvation through it) calls to the people who stare into nowhere
And can't feel the chains on their souls
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat or a song on our lips 
Someday we'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
someday He'll call us and we will come running
fall in His arms, the tears will fall down and we'll pray

[Chorus]


***Bridge***
Em     D           G           Am7       G           Em 
You we want to pray hey hey hey   La la la la la la la
       D       Am7        G        Em      Em  D
la la la la la la  la la la la la la la la la--ah 

Em           D                 G       Em           D                  G
It seems too easy to call You "Savior"   not close enough to call You "God"
                          Em           D          G                Em  D
(So as I sit and think of) words I can mention to show my devotion


[Chorus 3X] (end on G or fade out)
