Verse 1
[D]Sometimes its sink or swim[G]
And I've been treading wa[D]ter
I should have expected the flood
But [G]floating never has been easy for [Bm]me
You caught me c[G]arefree
And You [Bm]called me like you [A]saw me, ah...a [Em]sinn[G]er.[A]
Verse 2
And I said [D]five wits, looks and strength
I don't think are [G]much in the way of companion[D]s
And good deeds couldn't pay me account
Not [G]kinsmen or knowledge stand
The trial of [Bm]every man..[G]oh no
Don't [Bm]call me every [A]man...
Chorus
Call me [Em]Christia[G]n, [D] [A]...call me [Em]Christia[G]n[D] [A]
Call me [Em]Christia[G]n, [D] [A]...call me [G]Christian.
Intro 1X (2nd part of lead guitar)
Verse 3
[D]I've looked on the evergreen
And I've seen it [G]constantly grow and show us l[D]ife
And I want to live eternal[G]ly
I want to be an imitation [Bm]of Christ[G]
I want to [Bm]be a little [A]Christ.
Chorus
Bridge
As a [D]boy I'd put my s[G]teps
In my brother's bigger [D]tracks
To match his stride
And just like [G]that I'll follow Jesus
[D]Jesus is my [G]guide.
Chorus 2X
Chorus 2X (With background vocals only singing...
"I am in You, You are in me, hajeluiah.")
