(B --------------------------)





Dm                                       C                 G

Is this one for the people, is this one for the Lord

     Dm                                  C               G

Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford

              Dm                                  C                G

You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains

Dm                                  C                     G

Holiness is calling in the midst of courting fame





  Bb                     F                C

'Cause I see the trust in their eyes (though the sky is falling)

Bb                   F                C

They need your love in their lives (compromise is calling)





C                               G         E7

So What if I stumble, what if I fall

Am                                             F

What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all

C                                              G                    E7

Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl

Am             C                           

What if I stumble, and what if I fall





(intro chords)

What if I stumble, what if I fall...you never turn in the heat of it all...





(second verse played as first, as is 2nd verse-chorus bridge)

Father, please forgive me, for I cannot compose

The fear that lives within me or the rate at which it grows

I've struggled as a purpose on the narrow road you've carved 

Why do I dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar





Do they see the fear in my eyes (are they so revealing?)

This time I cannot disguise (all the doubt I'm feeling)





(chorus)

Dm                                                                     C G

Everyone's got to crawl when you know that you're up against the wall

                          Dm C          G

It's about to fall, everyone's got to crawl when you know that







I hear you whispering my name (you say)

My love for you will never change (never change)





(chorus)





(back to intro)

Is this one for the people, is this one for the Lord?
