This song is played tuned down half a step, but I try to avoid that
whenever possible. You can cheat by putting a capo on 2 on standard
tuned guitar, but Ill include both ways for those who want to play it
like on the CD.

[C]The [Em7]morning finds me [Am]here at heaven's door
[C]A p[Em7]lace I've been so[Am] many times before
[C]Fami[Em7]liar thoughts and[Am] phrases start to flow
[C]And [Em7]carry me to[Am] places that I know s[Fmaj7]o well
[C]But [Em7]dare I go where[Am] I don't understand
[C]And [Em7]do I dare r[Am]emember where I am
[C]I [Em7]stand before the[Am] great eternal throne
[C]The [Em7]one that God hi[Am]mself is seated on

(Guitar comes in)
[F]And I, I've been invited as a son
[Fm]Oh I, I've been invited to come and

[C]Believe the unbe[F]lievable
[C]Receive the incon[F]ceivable
[C]And see beyond my [E]wildest imagi[Am]nation[G]
[F]Lord I come with great expect[C]ati[Em7]ons[Am][C][Em7][Am]
