Hi guys, thought I'd try something a bit different so i've tried to avoid using my usual chords patterns and used strings in the arrangement. You'll probably work out pretty quick which bible verses I used for the lyrics!
Let me know if you think it works?
Verse 1
A9 Dm A9
Oh Lord You’ve search me and You know
D2 Amaj 7
All of my thought, all of my ways
Dm A
You know every word I’m going to speak
Dm Amaj7 Ddim A Fmaj7 Cmaj7/G Amaj7
You know every step I’m going to take
Chorus 1
F#m A/E D
I put my hope in You my Lord
A/C# Bm7 A
For its You that gives me strength
E/G# F#m A/E D A/E
And I will soar on wings like eagle, I’ll run but not grow tired
D A/C# G (D/G D/F# G) 1st time
I’ll walk but I will not be faint (Asus4 A/C# B/D#) 2nd time
Verse 2
A Dm A
Where can I run to hide from You?
D2 Amaj7
Where can I hide that You wont find?
Dm A
Up to the heavens, down in the depths
Dm Amaj7 Dm A Fmaj7 Cmaj7/G A
The ends of the earth You’ll find me there
Bridge
E B/D# A/C#
All I am I give into your hands
B
Lead me in your ways
E B/D# C#m
What can I say Lord, what can I do
A9
But give it all to You
C#m B/D# A
I put my trust in You
F#m E/G# A (A E/G# G#m) x2
I put my hope in You

Hey Philip,
I enjoyed the chord progressions. Some really nice sounding (and different) changes - good work! But I don't think the melody's strong enough at present for this to be a congregational, although that might not be the aim of the song.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for you comment. As most of my stuff it started as a congregational idea but I soon realised that it wasn't going to end up that way! After I decided that I just thought I'd have a bit of fun with the melody.
