Verse 1
(D)You struggle with the (F#m7)truth,
Battle with your (G)questions,
And fight to do what's (D)right.
(F#7)I pray you'll find the (Bm)strength,
(Bm7/A)Wish that I could (E7)help,
And trust you'll win the (A)fight.
Oh, (D)they want to know your (F#m7)love,
Need to share their (G)heartaches,
Long to take your (D)hand.
And (F#7)He hears our every (Bm)prayer,
(Bm7)Waits to fill your (E7/G#)life,
(E7)Knows you'll under(A)stand ...

Chorus 1
It's more (D)blessed to (A/D)give than to re(G/D)ceive,
I be(D)lieve it.
(G)Why try to (D/F#)hold on?
There's a (E7)whole lot of livin' to (A)do.
It's more (D)blessed to (A/D)give than to re(G/D)ceive
Can you (D)see it?
(G)Jesus will meet you (D/F#)halfway
If you (G)start going (D/F#)His way;
(G)He'll reach out and (D/F#)hold you,
And (Em7)lead you to a (A7sus4)better (D)day.

Verse 2
(D)You only need to (F#m7)take each step
as He (G)shows you, one day at a (D)time.
And (F#7)I know you'll find the (Bm)strength,
And (Bm7/A)trust He leads the (E7/G#)way.
Have (E7)faith you'll do just (A)fine.
Oh, (D)they will help to fill your (F#m7)life
As you reach out to (G)know them
And help to ease their (D)pain.
And (F#m7)He will smile down in (Bm)love,
(Bm7/A)Pour His power (E7/G#)out, and fill your cup (A)again.

There's a (F7)whole lot of livin' to (Bb)do.
It's more (Eb)blessed to (Bb/Eb)give than to (Ab/Eb)receive
Can you (Eb)see it? [Can you see it?]
