Intro:
H
Verse:
G#m                        F#   
Picked up the Book for 
               H              E
the first time in ages
G#m                          F#      
Still washed me clean with 
              H              E
the dust on the pages
           G#m       F#        H               E
My life is a story I struggle to write
                 G#m            F#    
But is it one worth telling? 
        H            C#m    F#
Is it one You like?
 
Chorus:
E                         H
  So who am I?  Who am I?
G#m                       F#                                  E
   Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?
                            H                  G#m
Troubled child, running wild
                            F#                            E
Chasing the glory instead of the One
                            H       G#m  
Who says that I, even I, 
                                       F#
have something still left to offer?
E                         H
  So who am I?
                G#m    
Who am I to question 
                                                  G#m
the pen in the hands of the Author?

Verse 2:
              G#m              F#                   H              E
Like every good story, you learn from the loss
             G#m       F#                 H               E
And I lost the plot every time I played God
       G#m        F#                     H       E
I live in a moment You already wrote
               G#m                F#     
It's proof that I'm someone, 
                 H               C#m F#
yeah, someone You love
 
Chorus:
E                         H
  So who am I?  Who am I?
G#m                       F#                                   E
   Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?
                            H                  G#m
Troubled child, running wild
                            F#                            E
Chasing the glory instead of the One
                            H       G#m  
Who says that I, even I, 
                                       F#
have something still left to offer?
E                         H
  So who am I?
                G#m    
Who am I to question 
                                                  E          F#
the pen in the hands of the Author?
 
Bridge:
E                     H                      
I see trauma, I see worthless, 
      G#m                       F#
You see something You can work with
E                          H               
I see weakness, I see failure, 
     G#m                           F#
You see something good on paper
              E                      H                  
And I've seen ashes turn to beauty, 
   G#m                     F#
I've felt heaven working through me
 E                          H                 
I've seen panic turn to power, 
    G#m                               F#  G#m H/D# E 
felt Your peace in my darkest hour
C#m                               H/D#                      
   What grace is this? Called me by name 
    G#m              F#                           C#m
again and again and again and again
                                        H/D#                                     
And what grace is this? Crossed out my shame, 
 G#m                 F#                             E        
forgives me again and again and again 
                                 H
and again and again
 
Chorus:
                                               G#m
So who am I? God, who am I?
                            F#                                 E
Am I just a poor preacher's prodigal son?
                             H                        G#m
Troubled child, still running wild
                           F#                           E
Chasing the glory instead of the One
                            H          G#m 
Who says that I, even I, 
                                      F#
have something still left to offer?
E                        H
  So who am I?
                 G#m
Who am I 
                                F#
to question the pen 
                                   E    H
in the hands of the Author?
