so I e ven take on a breath stage a fraid out to God move, giv ing it fraid to to fall.

Oh, but (D)fall I must on this (F6/9)truth that my life has been (Bbmaj9)formed from the dust.

(Dsus2)God

I can (Bm7)on ly see a part

of the (Fmaj9)pic ture He’s (Em7)paint ing.

so I’ll (Dsus)nev er (D)un der stand it (G)all, for (Fmaj7)on ly (E)God is God.

And the sky be gins to thun der,

and I’m filled with awe and won der,

’til the on ly burn ing words tion I fear that re mains
