Lyrics

Well I was
 G                                  Bm               C/slide to   D
Standing….on the outside, of the circle of contentment
                  G            Bm                 C/D                            
             such a hopeless place to be
   G                Bm              C      D             
blinded by confusion    sure uncertainty,
                Em              C                          G                D             
but  my soul  stood standing   in the shadows of good deeds

                Em               C
               Pressing for commitment,
                            G               D
               There was no excuse for me…so I kept


                           G                       Bm                  C/D
CHORUS:     
Standing….on the outside of the circle  of  contentment.
Standing….on the outside    such a hopeless place to be
Standing….on the outside…with sure uncertainty
                 Ahhhh, standing on the outside………


          G                          Bm               C                   D
I   wondered   bout aimlessly     searching for a quide
         G                       Bm                     C                  D
Somewhere there must be a rule   A course that’s been defined
         G                       Bm                     C                              D
But whomever I encountered   The message stayed the same
           Em                                            G                           D
If you ask for His forgiveness,  the spirit comes  in his name

                 Em                       C
                 Lord    please hear my call 
                 G                    D
                 salvage my soul.
                                                    C
                           Please forgive me…

                                And the spirit came to me…
        



Now I’m
G                                  Bm               C/slide to   D
Standing….on the inside, of the circle of contentment
                G            Bm             C/D                             
               such a joyous place to be

Enlightened by the Spirit    pure serenity
               
and  my soul  now standing   by his side eternally




CHORUS:     
Standing….on the inside of the circle  of  contentment.
Standing….on the inside    such a joyous place to be
Standing….on the inside…in pure serenity
                 Ahhhh, standing on the inside…in peace and harmony…
