Intro:
F6-C-G

F6                                C-G
What if I stumble? What if I fall?

F6
Is this one for the people?
    C              G
Is this one for the Lord?
      F6                    C            G
Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?
        F6                      C          G
You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains
       F6                          C              G
For holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame.

{Bridge}
Bb              F             C
Cause I see the trust in their eyes
Though the sky is falling
Bb              F             C
They need your love in their lives
Compromise is calling

{Chorus}
C               G        E
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
Am                                   F
What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all?
C                                 G                     E
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
Am              F             F6
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?

F6
What if I stumble?  What if I fall?
C                  G
You never turn in the heat of it all.
F6                              C-G
What if I stumble?  What if I fall?

F6                           C               G
Father please forgive me for I can not compose
F6                              C                  G
The fear that lives within me, or the rate at which it grows.
F6                                C                     G
If struggle has a purpose on the narrow road you've carved
F6                              C                 G
Why do I dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar?

Bb               F             C
Do they see the fear in my eyes?
Are they so revealing?
Bb              F             C
This time I can not disguise
All the doubt I'm feeling

{Chorus}

C-G-E-Am-F (x4)
F6                                                 C                G
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that your up against the wall
(It's about to fall!)
F6                                                 C                G
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that . . .
F6                                                 C                G
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that your up against the wall
(It's about to fall!)
F6                                                 C                G
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that . . .

Bb              F       C
I hear you whispering my name,  you say
Bb              F             C
My love for you will never change, never change


{Chorus} x 2


F6
What if I stumble?  What if I fall?
C                  G
You never turn in the heat of it all.
F6
What if I stumble?  What if I fall?
C                  G
You are my comfort, and my God!

F6
Is this one for the people?
C               G
Is this one for the Lord?


F6-C-G
