I can do all things through Christ   as He strengthens me

Eb      Ab/Eb     Eb                         Fm7                 Bbsus,  Bb

But left alone to my designs I’m as helpless as can be

Eb                Ab/Eb    Eb          Ab/Eb  Eb              Ab/Eb       Eb    Ab/Eb

So hear this prayer on bended knee       and help me know the truth

Eb        Ab/Eb       Eb                         Fm7                     Bbsus, Bb

Light my way and help me see that it all comes back to You

             Fm7                           Ab/Bb

Lord, it always comes back to You

Chorus

              Eb          Ab/Eb            Eb

For I am helpless without Your touch

                 Cm2           Gm/Bb

And I am hopeless without Your love

    Ab           Ab/Bb            Eb            Ab/Bb

So love me,  Lord I rely on You, only You

       Eb             Ab/Eb         Eb

I surrender my will to Your own

            Cm2             Gm/Bb

Be my defender and help me to know 

               Ab              Fm7     Ab/Bb  Eb

That You love me for Lord I rely on You

Heaven hushed as God bent down to listen to my plea

In the stillness Jesus stood and began to intercede

Angels charged with my concern rushed to carry me

To the throne of matchless grace where His mercy met my need

Lord Your mercy is what I need

Chorus

Bridge

So take my life as a sacrifice as I bow before Your throne

Be my one desire, a consuming fire as I trust in You alone

Chorus

You love me, and Lord I rely on You (2x)
