I used to live my life in fear
Was worried all the time
From waking up to laying down
I had no peace of mind
The world became a darkened place
A struggle without end
Although bitter times those were
The days that I began to understand
I was only a man
I grew up singing songs in church
With questions in my mind
Then turned my back and ran away
From God who gave me life
Then one night His presence fell
I wept and shook in it
I fell down and cried dear, Jesus
Rescue me again, I understand
I am only a man
And He said
What will it be now
Will you choose Me or keep swimming up stream now
Ive been inside your head
Hearing you scream out
But here I am just take My hand and Ill take out
All of the pain, and all of the fear
(Just D, D/F, G...listen to the song for the placements)
Ill give You my burdens
Ill give you peace
All of my desires
Ill give you what you need
And what about these chains Lord
Ill set you free
But theyre so heavy
Lay them at My feet
Ill lay them at Your feet
Just promise You wont leave
Ill never leave
So where do I go from here Lord
Just follow Me, just follow Me
Ill follow You, wherever You lead
Wherever You lead
Something like that. There are hammer-ons and pull-offs I didn't write in, but they're
to pick up if you listen to the song. It's pretty easy, just listen to it and you'll
it pretty quick.
