[Bm] [G]
[D]
[G]
I used to [Dm] live my life [Gb] in fear, [G] was worried all the [D]
time.
From waking up [Bm]
to laying [G] down, I had [D] no peace of mind.
The world became a darkened [Fm] place, a struggle [Bm] without end.
[G]
Although bitter [D] times those were, the [A] [Bb] days that I [Bm] began to [G] understand, I [A] was [D] only a man.
[G]
I [D] grew up singing songs in church [G] with questions in my [D] mind,
then turned my [Bm] back and ran away [G]
from God who gave me [D] life.
Then [A] one night [Bm] His presence fell, [Cm] I wept and [Bm] shook in it.
[G] I fell down and [D] cried, Dear [A] Jesus, rescue [Bbm] me [Bm] again, I [G] understand, I [A] am only [D] a man.
And He said, [G] What will it be now?
Will you choose me or keep swimming?
I [D] have screamed out, I've been inside your head, [G] hearing you scream out.
Well, here I am, just take my hand [Bm] and I'll take out all of the [G] pain and all of the [Em] fear.
All of the pain, [D] [G]
all of the [D]
fear.
[G] [D]
[G]
[D]
[G]
I'll [D] give you my burdens, I'll give [G] you peace.
All of my [D] desires, I'll give you what [G] you need.
Oh, what about [D] these chains, Lord?
I'll set you [G] free.
But they're so [D]
heavy.
Lay them at [G] my feet.
I'll lay them at your [D] feet.
[G]
Just promise you [D] won't leave.
I'll [G] love thee.
So where do I go from [D] here, Lord?
Just follow [G] me, just follow me.
I'll follow [D] you wherever [G] you lead me.
Wherever you [D] lead me.
[G]
Wherever you [D] lead me.
