I used to think You were angry
                                                G   A  Hm
The tone of Your voice is changing
                                                     G
And it sounds more like compassion 
                  A      Hm
than contempt
                                     G                   A     Hm

I walked around on a tightrope

Like if I messed up too bad

You might let go

I thought I'd reach the ceiling 
                    A   Hm
of Your grace
                                                 G 
But You've got more mercy than 
                        A     Hm
I've got mistakes

Chorus:
    G      D              Hm        A
Hallelujah, I thought I knew You

I ever could have hoped
        D                    Hm      A
Imagined, foreseen, or fathomed

You weren't impressed by the pageant
                                              G    A   Hm
Your pride isn't tied to my talent
                                           G
And You don’t ask for something 
               A   Hm
I can't give
                                        G   
My God, You're not a fascist,

You're a friend

But You're so much better than I thought
                               Hm                A  
You're so much better, You're better

Bridge:
          G                                A
Is this what it feels like to walk in Your freedom
             Hm                             D
To know I'm accepted, I'm even believed in
              G                    A
If mercy had limits I would exceed them
                       Hm
But Your grace isn’t shallow, 
             D
it's more like the deep end

           G                                 A
I thought I could earn it through striving and tears
             D                                     Hm
But I knew the wrong Jesus for so many years
              G                           A
That burden is lifting, it's light as a feather
            Hm                       A
My spirit is healing, I thought You were good

You're better

But You're so much better than I thought
                               Hm
You're so much better than 
     A                           G
I ever could have hoped
        D                    Hm      A
Imagined, foreseen, or fathomed
                                    G                     D

Than I thought
