Verse:
G#              D#/C  C#maj7         D#
Take a break from all the plans that you have made, and 
sit home alone and wait for God to whisper

Beg him please to open his mouth and speak and pray for 
real upon your knees until they blister
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/jimmy-needham/321260.html ]
Shine the light on every corner of your life until the 
pride, and lust, and lies are in the open

Then read the word and put to test the things you’ve 
heard until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked 
and broken

Chorus:
C#              Fm             C#/Bb         D#

Oh you can sing all you want to
You can sing all you want to, and still get it wrong
Oh worship is more than a song
