VERSE 1  
A7                D         G      D     
Jesus draw me ever nearer  
D     G                  A                 D  
As I labour through the storm.  
G                  D                            G D  
You have called me to this passage,  
D             G                            D  
and I'll follow, though I'm worn.  


Chorus  
D             A          D         A  
May this journey bring a blessing,  
D         G         D         A 
May I rise on wings of faith;  
G               D          A                G   D             
And at the end of my heart's testing,  
D     G                  A                 D       
With Your likeness let me wake.  

VERSE 2  
A7                D         G      D     
Jesus guide me through the tempest;  
D     G                  A                 D  
Keep my spirit staid and sure.  
G                  D                            G D  
When the midnight meets the morning,  
D             G                            D  
Let me love You even more.  

VERSE 3  
A7                D         G      D     
Let the treasures of the trial                                    
D     G                  A                 D  
Form within me as I go -   
G                  D                            G D  
And at the end of this long passage,  
D             G                            D  
Let me leave them at Your throne.
