Intro: C Bm7 Asus7 A7
C Bm7 Asus7 Dsus2(4)
G Am7
I look to thee in every need,
G/B C
And never look in vain;
Am7 G/B
I feel thy strong and tender love,
C GM7
And all is well again;
C D/C
The thought of thee is mightier far
C D/C
Than sin and pain and sorrow are;
C G/B Am7 D9sus G (rpt. intro)
Than sin and pain and sorrow are, my Lord.
Discouraged in the work of life,
Disheartened by its load.
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of thee
And then new heart springs up in me;
And then new heart springs up in me, my Lord.
C G/B Am7
There is an eye that never sleeps
D G
Beneath the wing of night;
C G/B Am7
There is an ear that never shuts
D G
When sink the beams of light.
C D/C
There is an arm that never tires
Bm7 Esus4 E
When human strength gives way;
Am7 G/B
There is a love that never fails
C D9sus
When earthly loves decay.
C G/B Am7
But there's a power which man can wield
D G
When mortal aid is vain,
C G/B Am7
That eye, that arm, that love to reach,
D G
That listening ear to gain.
C D/C
That power is prayer which soars on high
Bm7 Esus4 E
Through Jesus to the throne;
Am7 G/B
And moves the hand which moves the world,
C Dm7
To bring salvation down;
G
To bring salvation down.
[solo as verse, repeat chorus]
G Am7 GM7
I look to thee in every need.
