THE KING'S PROPOSAL

Lyrics by: Esther David
Music by: Esther David, BAS

Intro: (C)-(G)-(Am)-(F) [x2]

Verse 1
Like a (C)princess in a tower walled about,
I lock my (F)doors to keep my (G)inner fears with(Am)out.
But the (Am)key to every heart is on the (Em)ring
Of the (F)Keeper of the Kingdom (G)and the King.

I'm (C)amazed you sent a Messenger of Peace,
And when I (Am)read Your Words of love You've written (G)me,
Somehow my (Am)hurting heart believes it can (Em)trust,
And these (F)walls of stone will crumble with Your promised touch,

(C)-(G)-(Am)-(F)

Chorus 1
So, (C)here's my (G)stony (Am)heart! [Here's my door!]
(F)Welcome to my secrets and my (G)inner-longings.
(C)Here my heart (G)surrenders to Your (Am)fire;
(F)[Here my heart surrenders.]
Fill it with your love (G)until it all belongs to (C)You.

Break; (C)-(G)-(Am)-(F)-(G)-(C)-(G)-(Am)-(F)-(G)-(C)

Verse 2
Oh, You (C)speak of such a perfect love for me;
It's too (F)great a thing for (G)me to under(Am)stand.
I'm just a (Am)beggar and a child, and You're a (Em)King,
But You (F)say You're waiting just to take my hand.(G)

I'm in (C)rags, and You're in crimson filled with light.
I'm un(Am)worthy even to hope You'd care for (G)me.
But You will (Am)take me now, just as I (Em)am;
And You (F)say there will be love enough to keep me Yours,

(C)-(G)-(Am)-(F)

[Repeat Chorus 1]

Chorus 2
So, (C)here, I (G)lift my (Am)heart, [in my hands;]
(F)Here, I show my need and great (G)desire for You;
(C)Here, I pledge my (G)love and my (Am)life,
(F)[Here I pledge my love.]
And I promise to be Yours, (G)and You'll be mine (C)forever.

End: (C)-(G)-(Am)-(F)-(G)-(C)-(G)-(Am)-(F)-(G)-(C)
