[Verse 1]

Gm

  I spent years skipping over tomorrow

                                       Bb

Drowning my sorrow, pushing people a – way

                               Ab5

I couldn’t slow down, I didn’t know how

                                  Gm

Burned out I was from spinning in place 
I was dying for some kind of breakthrough

                                     Bb

With no one to turn to, I fell on my face

                                       Ab5

And there in the silence, in holy de – fi – ance

                                 Gm

I cried out, “Lord have mercy on me”
[Pre-Chorus]

                                                               Bb

Nah nah nah, nah I don’t wanna ever go back again, go back a – gain

                              Ab5

Nah nah nah, cause the end of me is where You begin
[Chorus 1]

     Eb                           F

I am   helpless without You, Lord

Gm                            F/A

  Helpless without your love, I’m

Bb                                            F

  Falling down on my knees and I’m lifting my hands

                                      Bb

You’re all that I need I confess that I am

Eb                           F

  Helpless without You, Lord

Gm                     F/A

  Desperate forevermore

Bb                                     F

  I’m surrendering all of my heart and my soul

                                 Bb

I know that I’m helpless without You Lord

[Verse 2]

Gm

  I lost my life, trying to find it

                                    Bb

But you lost your’s for the sake of me

                                  Ab5

Carried my weakness, faced all my de – mons

                                Gm

Lifted me up, put me back on my feet

Filled my lungs with the breath of Heaven

                      Bb

Gave my soul a second chance

                                        Ab5

To take on the darkness and tear it a – part with

                                   Gm

The weapon of love as my only de – fense
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus 1]
[Turn]
[Bridge]

Eb                F  Gm             F/A    Bb

  No longer in fear,   no longer in fail – ure

                          F                       Bb

No longer lost now that I found You, I found You,

Eb                  F    Gm                  F/A   Bb

  I’m swimming in free – dom, I’m diving in deep – er

                     F                       Bb

I’m alive now that I found You, I found You
[Chorus 2]

Eb  F   Gm                      F/A

    And I’m  helpless without You,

Bb                                            F

  Falling down to my knees and I’m lifting my hands

N.C.

  Oh I confess that I’m

Eb                           F

  Helpless without You, Lord

Gm                     F/A

  Desperate forevermore

Bb                                     F

  I’m surrendering all of my heart and my soul

                                 Bb

I know that I’m helpless without You Lord
