                             A                  
I will not drown, in shallow water  
               E             A  
Not with Your love within my reach  
                           A  
I did not come this far to falter  
             E              A  
And will not rest until I'm free  
  
            E                A  
You are the sun, you are the flower  
             E               A  
You are the wind, across the sea  
            D                   A  
And I will kneel, here at Your altar  
                E7               A  
And pray you'll take my soul to keep  
  
             E               A  
Oh precious One, You are the mountain  
             E                 A  
You are the earth, beneath my feet  
                          A   
In You we're one, now and forever  
          E7               A  
In You I find, the love in me  
  
BRIDGE:
  
             D                 A  
Through Your love, my eyes are open  
              D                  E7  
Through Your love, I'll learn to see  
            A                 D  
And in Your name, my bread is broken  
         E                   A  
By Your grace, I'll rest in peace  
  
CHORUS  
  
Solo  
  
BRIDGE  
  
CHORUS  
  
           E               A  
I will not rest until I'm free  
E          A  
Until I'm free
