I'm sorry,

I let fear and doubt in

As though I walked alone, 
D       Em7   G6 
as though no-one fights before me 
C                G 
As though you didn't notice,

as though I had no hope 

 C           G 
Why should I be afraid?

Why should I be afraid?

Because I have a Father

and strengthen me with real hope 
C 
In Your love, 
G 
in all You've promised,

in the place You're preparing for my home
