Intro:
F6-C-G

F6 C-G
What if I stumble? What if I fall?

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}
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?

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?

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)
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 . . .

Bb F C
I hear you whispering my name, you say
Bb F C
My love for you will never change, never change


{Chorus} x 2


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
