C                        F
When my memory starts to wander
C                F
I sit back and I ponder
C                           F
How the whole world's gone asunder
C                              F
I feel the rain and I hear the thunder

[Chorus 1]
C     Bb             F         Ab
I was bare and I was lost, yeah
C            Bb                F          Ab
But you were there and now I'm born, yeah
C               Bb     F                  Ab C Bb F
You are the force and strength In my life today
Ab - F - Bb - C

[Verse 2]
                       F
And oh how I thank you father
C                          F
For giving us all over and under
C                         F
You're a mystery you're a wonder
C                         F
I always knew since I was younger
C                                           F
I think about the way that you make it right
C                             F
So full of love and sacrifice
C                         F
I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus 2]
C            Bb              F          Ab
But you were right and I was wrong,yeah
C            Bb                F       Ab
'Cause I was weak but you were strong
C               Bb     F                  Ab C Bb F
You are the force and strength In my life today
Ab - F - Bb - C

[Verse 3]
F                        C
And now that the darkness has faded
F                          C
I'm no longer blinded I can see
F                            C
And I don't have to wait no longer
F                           C
`Cause it's all about being free

[Chorus 3]
      Bb        F
Every day every way
    Ab                 C
I'm gonna get myself together
      Bb        F   Ab
Every day every way

C - Bb - F - Ab
