This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Words

VERSE 1

I am gonna feel, when I'm gonna fall, in my heart now

I have gotta see, what I've gotta do in my life how

I have seen a change, I have seen a way, to be pure so

I am gonna clean, I am gonna purge, out my soul now

CHORUS

Rising, falling

Conviction, calling

Gut wrench x3

I feel forlom

Gut wrench x3

Saving my soul.

VERSE 2

I am gonna kneel, I am gonna pray, to my God now

I have gotta see, I have gotta wait, on His ways how

Can I see a change, can I see a hope in this life

that always has the bad, always has the flesh,

in the foreground.

CHORUS (repeat)

BRIDGE

The mighty ray of hope, into the heart of faith

No man can purge himself, no man can save his face

Almighty God on high, save our putrid souls

You are the way, rejected by fools.

VERSE 3

I have felt a joy, I have felt a peace, in my heart now

I have need a faith, I have need a grace, in my life how

Can I be the same, can I be the way, that I was then

When I have the Lord, when I have the cross, in my mind now.

CHORUS (repeat)
