Intro:
Dm-C-G
Dm C-G
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
Dm
Is this one for the people?
C G
Is this one for the Lord?
Dm C G
Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?
Dm C G
You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains
Dm 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 Dm
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?
Dm
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
C G
You never turn in the heat of it all.
Dm C-G
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
Dm C G
Father please forgive me for I can not compose
Dm C G
The fear that lives within me, or the rate at which it grows.
Dm C G
If struggle has a purpose on the narrow road you've carved
Dm 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)
Dm C G
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that your up against the wall
(It's about to fall)
Dm C G
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that . . .
Dm C G
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that your up against the wall
(It's about to fall)
Dm 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
Dm
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
C G
You never turn in the heat of it all.
Dm
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
C G
You are my comfort, and my God!
Dm
Is this one for the people?
C G
Is this one for the Lord?
Dm-C-G
I believe we all have a fear of falling short when it counts, and that is a legitimate concern, but it should not be a fear. After all, Peter stumbled not only once, remember the denials? Yes, we will all stumble, but what's important is that we try our best not to. And in the times that we do fall, lets not forget to standup and repent. Remember peter? He was a great apostle even after all the stumbles!
Don't be concerned about stumbling, what's important is that you ask God for help always. We are not perfect, I am not, my wife could attest to that! Remember that fear is not of the Lord. We should be concerned, but we should not be hindered by that concern to do great things for God.
I am praying that we would not stumble in our walk with God, and in the off chance that we do, I pray that we will have the strength to standup, repent, and move forward!
