F 
I faced a mountain

That I never faced before 
               C              F 
That's why I'm calling on the Lord 
  F 
I know it's been awhile 
                    Bb 
Lord please hear my prayer 
  Gm              Bb         C 
I need you like I never have before

A                    Bb 
Sometimes a troubled sea 
     B               C 
Sometimes it takes a desert 
                 F 
To get a hold of me 

                     F 
Your Love is so much stronger 
     A                 Bb 
Then whatever troubles me

To trust you and believe

Forgive me Jesus

I thought I could control

Whatever life would throw my way 
F 
But this I will admit 
                     Bb 
Has brought me to my knees 
Gm                      Bb             C 
I need you Lord and I'm not ashamed to say
