Verse 1:
Am Cmaj7
Life's not always as it seems,
Fmaj7
A different route from A to B,
Am Cmaj7 Fmaj7
And the plans you've made come tumbling down.
Am Cmaj7
When you're questioning the why,
Fmaj7
And it's hard to see the light,
Am Cmaj7 Dm7 C/E
And you're praying for the wind to change.
Chorus:
F C
And though the pain is strong,
F C
And it's hard to carry on,
F C
I know that this is true:
C/G G
My God cares for you.
C/E Dm7 Am
All hope has disappeared,
Dm7 Am
And you're running out of tears,
Dm7 C
I can tell you He is near,
Am G
For my God cares for you,
C/E F2 Am Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Yes He cares for you. [x2]
Mid section:
G Am C
Don't you know that His arms are strong enough to carry you,
G F2
Lift you up, in the safety of His love.
G Am C
Just hold on, He will come, the Lord our God will comfort you,
G Dm7
Give you strength enough to see you through the storm.
Verse 2:
When no answers can be found,
As the waves come crashing round,
And you find you're driven to your knees,
When you're overwhelmed with fear,
And it feels like it's been years,
You've been asking God: please rescue me.
