New Mexico
words and music by Mitch McVicker and Rich Mullins

(capo 2nd fret)
                                                         
                  D                       Bm               
Well I've been thinkin' about you and I wish you the best
              A                    G                       
But every night I go to sleep I miss you a little less
            D                  G               A            
But still somehow, I love you more with each new day
                  D                             Bm          
So I thought I'd write you, yeah I thought I'd send my new address
             A                            Bm                  A
I've been starin' at your picture that's sittin'  here on my desk
           G                    A                D           
'Cause I thought you might be wonderin' if I'm okay



Chorus
       Bm             D                                    
I'm alive and I'm livin'
       G                                  D                
In a place where the world's crust has shifted
          Bm                                              
And the stars in the Milky Way
          G                     D                          
They're givin' a party for New Mexico
          Bm             D                                 
Yes, I've come to the desert
          G                  D                             
Just to find my way to forever
            G                                             
And you are so welcome here
            A             D                               
If you're ever in New Mexico


             D                                            
So I wanna thank the One who leads us
         Bm                                               
For the way that He has led
         A                                                
For the times we've spent together
             G                                            
And for the times we ain't seen yet
             D               G                        A      
And still somehow this is a path we must both walk alone
              D                                           
And we can't measure the distance
               Bm                                         
But we'll treasure every step
        A                                                 
And I know His love will give us
        Bm                  A                              
The strength we need to press on
         G           A                              D       
So let's hold onto Him and He will show us our way home



Chorus



Bridge
          G                A                               
And the stars can be so bright
            Bm                                            
The air so thin
        G                  A                                
And as I'm lookin' out tonight
             G                 A                           
I think about you lookin' for Him



Chorus


               G                                          
Yes, you are so welcome here
           E             D                                 
If you're ever in New Mexico
