2   Faith Don’t Fail Me Now

Having recognised God’s love for us, and His place in our lives, we begin to realise that our relationship with Him is the most important thing we possess. And when times are hard we just pray that our faith in Him won’t get buried beneath the rubble.

 

 

C     Em   Dm   G   C  C sus

C                                C sus

I'd been trying on my own

C                                            Em                      

Been almost done and nearly dying on my own,

                           Dm

Alone and never coming to believe,

G7                                                  C             C sus

Refusing to receive the gifts you offered to me

 

C                                       C sus

To ride the highway in the night

C                                       Em                      

Means riding blindly like a child into the night

                                          Dm

While never wondering why we are drawing breath,

G7                                                  C             C sus

Refusing to accept the death you suffered for me

 

                F                    D7/F#

With my lock and key mentality,

             C                        E7                        F

Comes close to tearing down the line from you to me,

          D7/F#                                        G   G7

When I can't see or bend my knee to bow

                              C

Faith don't fail me now.                      

 

C                                C sus

When I'm full of my own grief,

C                                   Em                      

Thinking only of my own pain and its relief

                                       Dm

In a world that's always moving never still

G7                                                     C       C sus

And I forget the hill you climbed to set me free

 

                F                    D7/F#

When I can't go on, and hope seems gone,

C           E7                             F

   And I see the tree you're hanging on,

          D7/F#                                    G   G7

How I hurt you but you love me anyhow

                                C   Csus C

Faith don't fail me now. (repeat)
