Eb Ab/Eb Eb Ab/Eb Eb Ab/Eb Eb Ab/Eb
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
Ab Eb/G Fm7 Bb7 Eb
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)
