Lyrics

If You ask me to leap

and (Am7)out of my boat on the crash ing waves,

if You ask me to go

de (Am7)preach to a lost world that Je sus saves,

I’ll go, but I (F)can not go a lone,

’cause I know I’m (F)noth ing on my own.

But the pow er of (F)Christ in me makes me strong, makes me (G)strong.

’Cause when I’m (C)weak, You make me strong.

When I’m (Am7)blind, You shine Your light on me.

’Cause I’ll (C)nev er get by

(Am)liv ing on my (Am)own a (F)bil i ty.

How re (C)fresh ing to know You don’t need me.

How a maz ing to find that You want me.

So I’ll (C)stand on Your (C)truth and I’ll (Am)fight with Your (Am)strength un til (D7)You bring the vic to (F)ry

by the pow er of Christ in me.

If You ask me to run

and (Am7)car ry Your light in to for eign land,

if You ask me to fight,

de (Am7)liv er Your peo ple from Sa tan’s hand,

I’ll go, but I (F)can not go a lone,

’cause I know I’m (F)noth ing on my own.

But the pow er of (F)Christ in me makes me strong, makes me (G)strong.

’Cause when I’m (C)weak, You make me strong.

When I’m (Am7)blind, You shine Your light on me.

’Cause I’ll (C)nev er get by
