INTRO:

F6-C-G



F6                                C-G

What if I stumble? What if I fall?



VERSE 1:

F6

Is this one for the people?

    C              G

Is this one for the Lord?

      F6                    C            G

Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?

        F6                      C          G

You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains

       F6                          C              G

For holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame.



BRIDGE 1:

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



CHORUS:

C               G        E

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                     E

Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?

Am              F             F6

What if I stumble, and what if I fall?



F6

What if I stumble?  What if I fall?

C                  G

You never turn in the heat of it all.

F6                              C-G

What if I stumble?  What if I fall?



VERSE 2:

F6                           C               G

Father please forgive me for I can not compose

F6                              C                  G

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

F6                                C                     G

If struggle has a purpose on the narrow road you've carved

F6                              C                 G

Why do I dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar?



BRIDGE 2:

Bb               F             C

Do they see the fear in my eyes?

Are they so revealing?

Bb              F             C

This time I can not disguise

All the doubt I'm feeling



CHORUS



C-G-E-Am-F (x4)



BRIDGE 3:

F6                                                 C                G

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

(It's about to fall!)

F6                                                 C                G

Everyone's got to crawl when you know that . . .

F6                                                 C                G

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

(It's about to fall!)

F6                                                 C                G

Everyone's got to crawl when you know that . . .



BRIDGE 4:

Bb              F       C

I hear you whispering my name,  you say

Bb              F             C

My love for you will never change, never change



CHORUS (x2)



F6

What if I stumble?  What if I fall?

C                  G

You never turn in the heat of it all.

F6

What if I stumble?  What if I fall?

C                  G

You are my comfort, and my God!



F6

Is this one for the people?

C               G

Is this one for the Lord?



F6-C-G
