Lyrics

As I (C)walk this great un known,

ques tions (C)come and ques tions go.

Was there (Gsus)pur pose for the pain?

Did I (Fsus2)cry these tears in vain?

I don’t (C)wan na live in fear.

I wan na (C)trust that You are near,

trust Your (Gsus)grace can be seen in both (Fsus2)tri umph and trag e dy.

(C)I have this hope

in the (C)depth of my soul:

in the (Gsus)flood or the fire, You are (Fsus2)with me and You won’t let go.

But some (C)times my faith feels thin,

I like the (C)night will nev er end.

Will You (Gsus)catch ev ’ry tear in or (Fsus2)will You just leave me here?

(C)I have this hope

in the (C)depth of my soul:

in the (Gsus)flood or the fire, You are (Fsus2)with me and You won’t let go.

But some (C)times my faith feels Yes, (C)I have this

So, what ev er hap pens, I will (Fsus2)not be a fraid,

’cause You are clos er than this (Fsus2)breath that I take.

Yeah, You calm the storm when I hear (Fsus2)You call my name.

Oh, I still be lieve that one day (Fsus2)I’ll see Your face.

I have this hope

in the (C)depth of my soul:

in the (Gsus)flood or the fire, You are (Fsus2)with me.

I have this hope

in the (C)depth of my soul:

in the (Gsus)flood or the fire, You are (Fsus2)with me and You won’t let go.

In the (G)flood or the fire, You are (Fsus2)with me and You won’t let go.

In the (Gsus)flood or the fire, You are (F5)with me and You won’t let go.
