          F#2                /B                 F#2 
Well sometimes my life just don't make sense at all 
          /A#               /B         /C# 
When the mountains look so big and my faith just seems so small 
 
 
Chorus: 
   C#/F      F#2            G#m7    F#2/A#  B2 
So hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf 
         G#m7     F#2/A#  B2 
You have been King of my glory, 
         C#7sus  C#        F#2 
Won't You be my Prince of peace 
  /B 
{ / / / / }{ / / / / } 
 
 
And I wake up in the night and feel the dark 
It's so hot inside my soul, I swear there must be blisters on my heart 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
B         F#/A#     G#m7 C#7sus F#  C#/F# F# 
Surrender don't come natural to me 
            B            F#/A#       G#m7          C# 
I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want 
        F#             /A#         B2 
Than to take what You give that I need 
    /A#  G#m                G#m/F# 
And I've beat my head against so many walls 
        C#2/F             G#m7          C#sus   C# 
Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees 
 
 
And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn 
And Your grace rings out so deep, it makes my resistance seem so thin 
 
 
Chorus 
            C#/F      F#            G#m7     F#/A#   B2 
I'm singing hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf 
         G#m7     F#/A#  B2             C#7sus   C#        F#2 
You have been King of my glory, won't You be my Prince of Peace 
         G#m7     F#/A#  B2             C#7sus   C#        F#2
