Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  got a feeling as a matter of fact
 It's like my  whole world just came under attack
 And I hear  a voice tellin' me to turn back
 ‘Cause I must  be onto somethin'
It  happens every single time I get close to
Everything  I know is good and right and so true
It's  like somebody doesn't want me to love You
 And I must  be onto somethin'
 So help me hold on
 Help me be strong
 ‘Cause I don't wanna move unless  You move me
I  wanna know how it feels  to be
Standing  in the center of Your will  for me
I  wanna know what surrender  means
Keep  me in the center of Your will  for me
Keep  me in the center
God  forbid I start to think I'm on a roll now
‘Cause  I do believe there is a battle for my soul now
And  I can feel the world fighting for control now
I  must be onto somethin'
 So help me hold  on just a little bit longer
‘Cause  all this struggle's gonna do is make me stronger
This  is the everyday prayer of my heart
I  just wanna stay where You are
 Inst:  2x
 Lord, help me hold on
 Help me be strong
 I don't wanna move unless  You move me
Yeah,  yeah,  oh
 Continue
 End on
 Keep me in the center
 I wanna know
 I surrender, I surrender
 I wanna know
 You gotta help me, Lord, oh
 Help me hold on
 Help me hold on
