Lyrics

As I lay me (E5)down,

heav en hear me (E)now.

I’m lost with out a (E)cause

af ter giv ing it my (Bsus)all.

Win ter storms have (E5)come

and dark ened my sun.

Af ter all that I’ve been (E)through,

who on earth can I turn to?

I look to (E)You,

I look to You.

Af ter all my strength is (E)gone,

in You I can be (B)strong.

I look to (E)You,

I look to You.

Hey,

and when mel o dies are (E)gone,

in You I hear a song,

I look to (E5)You.

’Bout to lose my

breath,

there’s no more fight ing

left.

Sink ing to rise no (E)more,

search ing for that o pen (Bsus)door.

And ev ’ry road that I’ve (E)tak en

led to my re gret.

And I don’t know if I’m gon’ (E)make it,

noth ing to do but lift my (Bsus)head.

I look to

in You I hear a song,

I look to (C#m)You.

My (E)lev ies have bro ken, my (E)walls have come

crum bl ing down (B)on me.

All the (E)rain is fall ing, de (E)feat is call ing, I need You to set (B)me free.

Take me (E)far a way from the bat tle,

I need You.

Shine on me.

I look to (E5)You,

I look to You.

Af ter all my strength is (E)gone,

in You I can be (Bsus)strong.

I look to (CN.C.)You,

I look to You.

Hey,

and when mel o dies are (E)gone,

in You I hear a song.

I look to (E5)You.

Hey.

I look to You,

I look to (CN.C.)You.
