I haven't had a lot of time for guitar recently, but this is one of several tabs that various nice people have sent me. I haven't reviewed or editted them, so no guarantees about accuracy, but I'm sure people will find them useful. If you have transcribed a Caedmon's Call or derek webb song that's not already on this site, please feel free to send it in to be shared here.

[There are a lot of little walk up and downs on bass and minor notes
throughout the song. They're easy enough to find on your own once you know
the basic chord structure of the song, as I've outlined. So if you want all
the fancy little walks, just play around they're easy enough. Good luck and
have fun!]

V1:
     Em    G
No More My God, I boast no more
     D        C
Of all the duties I have done
Am7 C
I quit the hopes I held before,
G
To trust the merits of They Son

CHORUS:
C G
No more my God
C D
No more my God
Am7 C  D
No more my God
  %%
I boast no more.

V2:
Now, for the loss I bear his name,
What was my gain I count my loss
My former pride I call my shame
And nail my glory to His cross

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Em
Yes, and I must, I will esteem
   D
All things but loss for Jesus' sake
   Am7
O may my soul be found in Him
C D
And of His righteousness partake

V3:
The best obedience of my hands
Dares not appear before Thy throne
But faith can answer Thy demands
By pleading what my Lord has done
