Verse 1
Db
“Put your guard up
/Ab
And don’t you let it break
/Bb
Hold your facade”
/F
You won’t dare make a mistake
/Gb
Living by your fears
And so you barricade
/Ab
So you can feel okay
/C /Ab
But you still feel the same
Verse 2
Db
So you try to control
/Ab
Thinking that it is safe
/Bb
And you’ll bypass everything
/F
That could make you feel shame
/Gb
But is it really safe
When you live that way?
/Ab
When you lose your flame?
/C
There is a better way.
Chorus

When will you live by the Truth in your heart?

There is a life waiting for you to start
/Gb /Ab (Db)
When you let down your guarded heart
Db /Ab /Bb /F
Verse 3
Db
You’ve been living too long
/Ab
Under the victim game
/Bb
Tell the voices of shame
/F
Your worth will never be changed
/Gb
You can let your guard down
When you know that you’re safe
/Ab
That you are loved the same
/C (hold) /Ab
He gives you a new name
Chorus

In the Great I Am

Tell them “I know Whose I am”

All fear falls away
/Ab
When your eyes meet His today
