Jars of Clay--Like a Child
written by: Jars of Clay, Lyrics by Dan Haseltine 
transcribed by: David Lawson and Carrie Faith Ingram


{during the verses, strum the top strings only--as if they were power chords}

             G--C2      
Dear God,
     G--C2                 G--C2
surround me as I speak,
           G--C2                                     G--C2         
the bridges that I walk across are weak,
                  G         C2        G--C2                       G--C2
and the frustrations fill the void that I can't solely bear.
            1-2-3-4-5
Dear God,
         1  2   3  4  5
don't let me fall apart,
     2     1    2    3      6
You've held me close to You,
                 1        2--2     1      2
and I have turned away and searched
   3   1-2  -  2 - 1     2--4 
for answers I can't understand.

CHORUS:

D2-D-Dsus   C2      G             C2
They say that I can move the mountains
       D2-D-Dsus  C2                  G    C2       
and send them falling [crashing] to the sea
     D2-D-Dsus   C2   G      C2
They say that I can walk on water
 D2-D-Dsus  C2  G  C2
if I would follow and believe
with faith like a child

G--C2   G--C2   G--C2  G

{here, I just try the patterns in the first verse.....HAVE FUN!!!}

Sometimes, when I feel miles away
and my eyes can't see Your face
I wonder if I've grown to lose the
recklessness I walked in light of You...
