A MEASURE OF LIFE (D major, 4/4, 90bpm)
Based on 1 Kings 11:1-13, and Life-study of 1 & 2 Kings, msg. 7, by Witness Lee
Music and lyrics by Matthew David Fritz

    D    -          A/C#             Gsus2   - Gsus4 Em D
If true heart perfection is simply a re - flec - tion
Em                   -          D
Of a fully following heart
A C#dim A
Why would you leave the love you held from the start?
D A/C# Gsus2 Gsus4 Em D
If love’s vain attraction would spark a chain re - ac - tion
Em D
Turning your heart far away
Em F#m A
Could God’s own appearing infuse you with fearing you’d stray?
Gsus2 Em D C#dim D
Could I wield all the wisdom in the world
A D
Would it ever compare to a pearl of worth
Gsus2 Em D
That life plus suffering produced?
Em Gsus2 G Gsus2
So capability follows
D C#dim D
If gifts from above only lead to strife
Aadd9 D
Could they ever replace a measure of life?
Gsus2 Em D
The life a dove can supply
Em C#dim D
Issues from a measure of life
If clinging forbidden never could be hidden
From the very God that you trust
How could you yield to such indulgence in lust?
Does wisdom really matter when kingdoms fall and shatter?
Casting dominion aside
Deadly division instead of your vision abides

Something More Is Here
