Verse 1:
C            D
I used to do okay on my own
            Bm
Think I was made of stone
             Em      D
That I could carry a heavy load
C                  D              Bm
Never thought that one day I'd be all alone
C            D
But then the road got long
      Bm
I saw I was wrong
        Em        D
And had no one to lean upon
C                    D
But You kept me from falling far below
G                             Bm/F# G/F
And taught me something I had never known that

Chorus:
Em        C
You Lord, You Lord
A                 B
Can hold my heart in Your hands
Em        C
You Lord, You Lord
    A              B
Can change me in a fleeting glance
Em        C
You Lord, You Lord
    A          B
Can push me to know greater things

(Gm/C)
Verse 2:
If I had a dime for every time
I've tried to live this on my own
I guess I'd be a rich man wouldn't I
But money never bought me peace, love, or happiness
It only seemed to make a mess
And right about then I'd open my eyes
And once again I'd realize that

Chorus

(Gm/C)
Bridge:
(notes: d e f# g g# a)         A
                    Push me out
        C                  D
Until I stand on stone and say I've made a choice
        A
Push me down
          A               D
Until I'm on my knees and listening for Your voice
            A
Push me around
         A                       D
Until my life touches others and they see what I've found
        A
Show me how
      C                  D7         B/D#
I can take this life and give it away
