|C |Csus C |C |Csus

[Verse 1]
     C                 |C
As I walk this great unknown
                             Am7
Questions come and questions go
          G
Was there purpose for the pain?
      F                        |C |Csus
Did I cry these tears in vain?


[Verse 2]
        C             |C
I don't wanna live in fear
                          Am7
I want to trust that You are near
           G
Trust Your grace can be seen
        F                   C
In both triumph and tragedy


[Chorus 1]
C
God, You don't need me

But somehow You want me
Gsus
Oh, how You love me
             G
Somehow that frees me
Am7
To take my hands off of my life
                      F2
And the way it should go
C
God, You don't need me

But somehow You want me
Gsus
Oh, how You love me
             G
Somehow that frees me
   Am7
To open my hands up
                 C
And give You control


[Verse 3]
                        C
But sometimes my faith feels thin
                         Am7
Like the night will never end
             G
Oh, will You catch every tear
   F                            C
Or will You just leave me here?


[Chorus 2]
       C
I have this hope
                   Am7
In the depth of my soul
       G
In the flood or the fire
       F                     C
You're with me and You won't let go
       C
I have this hope
                   Am7
In the depth of my soul
       G
In the flood or the fire
       F                     C
You're with me and You won't let go

[Bridge]
        C
Oh, You want me
            Gsus G
Somehow You want me
                   Am7
The King of Heaven wants me
        F2
So this world has lost its grip on me


[Chorus 3]
            Am7               F
And I'll be by your side wherever you fall
       C                 G
In the dead of night whenever you call
    Am7                      F                      C
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
G
My hands are holding you
Am7                 F
Here at my side wherever you fall (I give you Control)
       C                  G
In the dead of night whenever you call (I have this hope)
    Am7                      F                       C
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
G
My hands are holding you


[Outro]
C
God, You don't need me

But somehow You want me
Gsus
Oh, how You love me
Am7
Somehow that frees me

To open my hands up
             F
And give You control
           C
I give You control
