_ _ [Bm] _ _ [D#m] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [G#m] _ Always _ [E]
sailing [B] smoothly over
[C#m] Gentle [D#m] quiet [B] seats.
There's so much about you.
I
[F#] Might have [G#m] never known
[Em]
[G] But I have faced the wind and [C#] waves and I see [G] how faith is [B] grown
[F#] if not for the [B] storm
I couldn't say that you're my shelter
If not [D#m] for the storms
[G#m] I couldn't say [C#m] that you're my [F#] strength
Cause [E] I found [F#] you so faithful
[D#] through [G#] all that you [C#m] allow.
Oh no, [B] there's no way [E] I know you [F#] as I know [B] you now.
_ [E] _ _
A shepherd [B] strong and tender, [G#m] you know I'd only read about.
[E] Met [B] me in the middle [C#m] of my moments [F#] filled with [B] doubt.
A provider, a protector, a friend [G#m] who knew my [Em] need.
There's so much [G] I can't tell of [C#] who you proved [F#] yourself to be.
_ [B] [G#m] I couldn't say [B] that you're my shepherd. _
_ [D#m] I [G#m] never know [C#m] that you're my [G#] strength.
[E] Cause I found [F#] you faithful [D#] through [G#] all that you [C#m] allow.
Not for the [F#] storms is the way I know you as I know [B] you _ now.
[Em] Sometimes it's hard to see the reason [A] for the trials I'm in.
[D] Looking from this earthly [G] point of view.
[Em] But I'm sure they proved it to me [A] time and time again.
I [C#m] can depend on you to see [B] me through.
I _ couldn't say [G#m] that you're my shepherd.
I never [D#m] know that _
[G#m] you're [C#m] my [B] strength.
[F#] Cause [E] I found [F#] you faithful [D#] through [G#] all that you [E] allow.
[C#m] Not for the [E] storms is the way I know you as [F#] _ [C#m] _
I know [F#] _ _ _ [B] you now.
I can depend on [G#m] you _ [B] _ to see [G#m] me through.
