Biography:
Merchant Band was formed from a worship team at the International House of Prayer, a 24/7 prayer and worship ministry in Kansas City (IHOP-KC, www.ihop.org). Marcus Meier and a few friends began playing three times a week to help fill some of the two-hour slots in the 24/7 schedule. Over the past four years that worship team has seen a lot of change and growth, and is now leading six two-hour sessions a week at IHOP-KC, as well as leading worship at all IHOP conferences.

More Than Ashes
Merchant Bant [Tim Reimherr]
Capo:3
Verse 1:
G G/F#
I’m more than what these ashes say
C/E Dsus4 G
They will fade away when He comes for me
G G/F#
By grace, through faith in Christ I’m saved
C/E Dsus4 G
I am not the same when He looks at me
Chorus:
Cmaj7 Dsus4 G
I am the rose, the joy for which You died
Cmaj7 Dsus4 G
And this I know, I move You with delight
Cmaj7 Dsus4 Em
And when my heart condemns on every side
Cmaj7 Dsus4 G (Dsus4 into Bridge)
I take refuge in the truth: I am the rose to You
G G/F# C/E Dsus4 G
Verse 2:
G G/F#
My life is more than meets the eye
C/E Dsus4 G
I’m hidden now in Christ and I’m one with Him
G G/F#
My love is real before His eyes
C/E Dsus4 G
He’s ravished by the sight of one glance from me
[CHORUS]
Bridge:
G G/F#
I am the rose, I am the lily

I am Yours, I’m Your beauty

There’s gonna be a wedding,

It’s the reason that I’m living, to marry the Lamb
