VERSE 1:
               D2/F#           A
Sometimes it's hard to keep believing
   F#m            E
In what you can't see
                D2/F#           A
That everything happens for a reason
         F#m         E
Even the worst life brings
          D2/F#            A
If you're reaching for an answer
        F#m                  E
And you don't know what to pray
     D2/F#        A
Just open up the pages
        F#m             E
Let His word be your strength

CHORUS:
         F#m                 D2/F#
And hold on to the promises (Hold tight)
     A                   E
Hold on to the promises (Alright)
F#m               D2/F#
Jesus is alive so hold tight
     A                 E
Hold on to the promises

VERSE 2:
           D2/F#        A
All things work for the good
   F#m            E
Of those who love God
              D2/F#              A
He holds back nothing that will heal you
    F#m           E
Not even His own Son
    D2/F#         A
His love is everlasting
     F#m           E
His faithfulness unending
      D2/F#          A
Oh, if God is for us who can be against us
F#m             E
So if you feel weak

Repeat chorus (x2)

BRIDGE:
        F#m       D2/F#
Neither life, nor death
      A    E
Could separate us

From the eternal love
       A        E
Of our God who saves us (2x)

Repeat chorus (x2)
