(A)Sov ’reign in the moun tain air, (F#m7)sov ’reign on the o cean floor, (D2)with me in the calm,

(F#m7)with me in the (Esus)storm.

(A)Sov ’reign in my great est joy, (F#m7)sov ’reign in my deep est cry, (D2)with me in the dark,

(F#m7)with me at the (Esus)dawn.

In Your ev er last ing arms, all the piec es of my (D2)life, from be gin ning to the (F#m7)end, I can (E)trust You.

In Your nev er fail ing love, You work ev ’ry thing for (D2)good.

God, what ev er comes my (F#m7)way, I will (E)trust You.
