Psalm 139:13-16
F5 C5
[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]
Verse 1:
F5 G5 C5
[ / / / It took the hand of God Almighty
To part the waters of the sea
C5
But it only took one little lie
C5
To separate you and me
F5 C5
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
Verse 2:
F5 G5 C5
And they say that one day Joshua
C5
Made the sun stand still in the sky
C5 C5
But I can't even keep these thoughts of you from passing by
F5 F5
Oh, we are not as strong
F5 F5 C5
As we think we are
Chorus:
G5 C5 G5 F5 C5
We are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made
G5
Forged in the fires of human passion
F5 C5
Choking on the fumes of selfish rage
G5 A5
And with these our hells and our heavens
F5
So few inches apart
F5 C5 D5
We must be aw- flly small,
G5 G5
And not as strong as we think we are
Verse 3:
And the Master said their faith was
Gonna make them mountains move
But me, I tremble like a hill on a fault line
Just at the thought of how I lost you
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
D5
And if you make me laugh,
G5
I know I could make you like me
C2(no3) C5 F5
'Cause when I laugh I can be a lot of fun
D5 G5
But when we can't do that I know that it is fright'ning
C2(no3) C5
What I don't know is why we can't hold on,
Am2 G5
We can't hold on.
Repeat Verse 1:
It took the hand of God Almighty
To part the waters of the sea
But it only took one little lie
To separate you and me
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
Verse 4:
When you love you walk on the water,
Just don't stumble on the waves.
We all want to go there somethin' awful,
But to stand there it takes some grace,
'Cause oh, we are not as strong
As we think we are
G5 C5 F5
No, we are not as strong
F5 F5 C5
As we think we are.
