Copyright (c) 1987 Marguerite Music ---------------------------------- Tuning: Down 1 full step (DGCFAD) Some possibly unusual fingerings: Dsus2(4): G/B: GM7: D/C: or D9sus: Dm7: ---------------------------------- Intro: C Bm7 Asus7 A7 CBADsus2(4) G Am7 I look to thee in every need, G/B C And never look in vain; Am7 G/B I feel thy strong and tender love, C GM7 And all is well again; C D/C The thought of thee is mightier far C D/C Than sin and pain and sorrow are; C G/B Am7 D9sus G (rpt. intro) Than sin and pain and sorrow are, my Lord. Discouraged in the work of life, Disheartened by its load. Shamed by its failures or its fears, I sink beside the road; But let me only think of thee And then new heart springs up in me; And then new heart springs up in me, my Lord. C G/B Am7 There is an eye that never sleeps D G Beneath the wing of night; C G/B Am7 There is an ear that never shuts D G When sink the beams of light. C D/C There is an arm that never tires Bm7 EsEs4 When human strength gives way; Am7 G/B There is a love that never fails C D9sus When earthly loves decay. C G/B Am7 But there's a power which man can wield D G When mortal aid is vain, C G/B Am7 That eye, that arm, that love to reach, D G That listening ear to gain. C D/C That power is prayer which soars on high Bm7 EsEs4 Through Jesus to the throne; Am7 G/B And moves the hand which moves the world, C Dm7 To bring salvation down; G To bring salvation down. (solo as verse, repeat chorus) G Am7 GM7 I look to thee in every need.
