Stronghold

                                    Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
   C
I have not my own goodness
       F             C
No, I have no pure desire
     F        G      Am
For You wrote into existence
          F        G      C
All the faith that You require
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          C
I'm not leaning or supported
          F            C
I'm not helped up to stand
          F    G          Am
But I'm carried by You, Jesus
         F     G         C
Carried in Your saving hands
 
[Chorus]
       F
How I need You
         G
Just to need You
       Am     G
How I long to
       F
Never long for another
                F                  G
I could have strength, I could be bold
              Am   G          F
But if I have not Your stronghold
              F               G           C
Then I have nothing, I have nothing at all
 
[Verse 2]
         C
When my own heart condemns me
          F              C
You are greater than my heart
          F   G         Am
When the fear is overwhelming
          F     G         C
You are greater still by far
 
[Pre-Chorus]
           C
When the swells of doubt are rising
         F               C
And my faith a distant thought
            F   G           Am
Just one whisper from You, Jesus
       F    G              C
Overcomes shouts from the dark
 
[Chorus]
       F
How I need You
         G
Just to need You
       Am    G
How I long to
       F
Never long for another
                F                  G
I could have strength, I could be bold
              Am   G          F
But if I have not Your stronghold
              F               G           C
Then I have nothing, I have nothing at all
 
[Bridge]
                F
And if I could see You
             G
If I could touch You now
              C
Still I would not believe
             Am
Unless You taught me how
                 F
So my hands are open
            G
My life is all poured out
                 C
Is this how You want me, Lord?
            Am
I'm waiting on You now
                  F                   F
'Cause all understanding across the earth
             Am
Never could lead me to what I dont deserve
           C
I needed death and I needed birth
             G
And had no longing, then how would I learn?
                F
Still, I wanna see You
         G
I wanna see You now
                 C
Is this how You want me, Lord?
                 Am
I'm just waiting on You now
 
[Outro]
                F                  G
I could have strength, I could be bold
              Am   G          F
But if I have not Your stronghold
                              G
Then I have nothing, I have nothing at all
