Chorus 
                              C5            G5           A5         F5 
Now just the other day, I overheard a flower talking to the sky 
C5            G5                A5       F5        C5            G5          A5 x 2 
He said, you know that I would be nothing without you, oh, oh 
              C5                 G5     A5                  F5 
He said, you give me rain, you give the sun a place to shine 
C5            G5                A5       F5        C5            G5          A5 x 1  
You're everything that my whole existence comes down to, oh, oh 
F5                                         D5 
And then the flower started singing a song 
C5            E5               E5 
Before I knew it, I was singing along 

And we sang 
 
Chorus: 
C5            G5                 A5    F5 
This is my declaration of dependence 
C5            G5                A5    F5 
This is my declaration of my need 
C5            G5                A5    F5 
This is my declaration of dependence 
F5            C5           G5         A5          F5   C5   G5   A5 x 1 
On the One who gave His life to me 


                   C5               G5                A5         F5 
Now, let me say that I'm the kind of guy who wants to do it all myself 
C5            G5                A5       F5        C5            G5          A5 x 2 
Don't want to ask for help, don't like to stop for directions, oh, oh 
              C5                 G5     A5                  F5 
But in reality, I'm nothing on my own 
C5            G5                A5       F5        C5            G5          A5 x 1  
Its by God's grace alone that I can make this confession 
F5                                         D5 
All that I am and all I'm hoping to be 
C5            E5               E5 
Is all and only what He's given to me 

So I say Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
B5     A5 
And I know this is how my life was meant to be 
E5  C5 
I was made for this dependency 
E5  A5 
On the One who has created me 
B5     F5 
So I'll sing my declaration song 
C5   E5     A5 
For the One I am depending on 

And I hope you'll sing along 
 
Chorus x 2
