Hope
words and music by Mitch McVicker

E  B                      C#m    A               
    Every dog'll have its day
                           E               
But everyday the sun will shine
                        C#m                A 
I hope I never see the day when I leave You behind
E  B                        C#m      A          
    So much is callin' out my name
                           E                
So much of it I choose to hear
                      C#m                 A  
I must admit I'm so afraid my love's no more than fear
      E               B                      
'Cause every single day I spend
     C#m                      A              
Somewhere between one hour and ten
      E          B                C#m   B   A   
Just lettin' my soul run around  wild
               E                  B          
And there's a simple prayer I love to pray
      C#m                   A                
I never do unless rain comes my way
      E                  B                      C#m  B  F#m  G#m
But without You, Lord my walk wouldn't  last a mile



Chorus
   E                   G                             A
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live,
         A                                  
Don't wanna live without You, Lord
 E                 G                   D           G     D
Don't wanna live, don't wanna live down here all alone
                                           
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live,  
                               G            
Don't wanna live without some hope
           F#m    G                           
To hang my hat on


E  B                             C#m    A      
    If home is where the heart is at
                               E      B      
Then I forget where all I've lived
                        C#m                     A
'Cause my shelter never lasts, the wind just blows within
E  B                           C#m    A        
    It leaves me tattered and torn
                          E                 
By the gusts and by the gales
                          C#m                  A
And in the middle of the storm my faith just seems so frail
      E           B                          
But every single day I'm blessed 
          C#m               A               
As you lift me from the tangled mess
        E                B              C#m  B  A     
Caused by the whirlwind turnin' deep inside
     E               B                       
And I never cease to be amazed
          C#m                A               
How Your simple love still somehow plays
       E           B                    C#m  B  F#m  G#m
The biggest part of all things in my life



Chorus



Bridge
         E             B                     
'Cause every single day I spend
       C#m             A                     
Somewhere between one hour and ten
           E       B              C#m   B   A     
Just lettin' my soul run around  wild
        E               B                    
But I never cease to be amazed
       C#m                      A            
How Your simple love still somehow plays
         E             B           C#m        B         F#m  G#m
The biggest part of all things in my life, and that's why


Chorus


(repeat)
