Intro:

Verse 1:
 Em                                        G
Time will tell if we really have what it takes
 Em                                     G
This live can crush us underneath its weight
          Am                Em
When the river rushes over your feet
 G        Am
When the bulls are running through your streets


First Chorus:
           C                    G       D
You don't have to run from the fears behind you
 C                     G      D
Turn around and I'll stand beside you
 C                 G
Take my hand and remember
 D      Em                 G
We may bend but will not break
                 Em
Together we may bend
              G
But will not break

            Em                                              C
Oh, on the front line you're gonna feel the bullets, gonna feel the heat
               Em                                C                 G
And when the battles that you fight call you to turn the other cheek
          Am                      Em
When the fire at your back burns bright
              Am
And when the mountains up ahead are so high

And if ever you should feel like giving up
              Am            C
Remember that God is with us
                        Em               D
