Dear God,
G--C2 G--C2
surround me as I speak,
G--C2 G--C2
the bridges that I walk across are weak,
{sot} G C2 G--C2 G--C2
and the frustrations fill the void that I can't solely bear.
1-2-3-4-5{eot}
Dear God,
1 2 3 4 5
don't let me fall apart,
2 1 2 3 6
You've held me close to You,
1 2--2 1 2
and I have turned away and searched
3 1-2 - 2 - 1 2--4
for answers I can't understand.
{section: Chorus}
with faith like a child
G--C2 G--C2 G--C2 G
{here, I just try the patterns in the first verse.....HAVE FUN!!!}
Sometimes, when I feel miles away
and my eyes can't see Your face
I wonder if I've grown to lose the
recklessness I walked in light of You...
