What if I forget the lyrics to the chorus of the song I wrote?
     G               G             G                G
What if my daughter gets a fever while I'm out here on the road?
     Em                              C                         G   G  G  G
What if this kind of life I lead is damaging in ways I do not know?


VERSE:
        G            G                 G           G
What if I can never find a place where I can truly be myself?
     G            G                   G                G
What if I never chase my dreams and leave them sitting on the shelf?
     Em                                C                         G   G  G  G
What if I already missed my prime and get passed by for someone else?


CHORUS:
             Em            C             G         D
What if the world doesn't end when the fears come true?
            Em           C       G        D
What if we have what we need to make it through?
          Em         D          G       C
There is manna from heaven and mercies new
         C            G            D      G   G  G  G
What if God is still here in this desert too?


VERSE:
       G            G                 G          G
Every morning I am full of hope like Lazarus up from the grave
    G              G               G             G
But by the time I fall in bed I'm burdened by a heavy weight
      Em                             C                         G   G  G  G
From picking up what isn't mine 'til I feel like there's no escape


VERSE:
        G                G                G              G
What if I believed that God would meet me in my trouble and my pain
     G                   G                 G               G
And all the truth that's in my head would move down to my heart and then
   Em                              C                     G  G  G  G
I shall not want for anything and finally be at peace again


CHORUS:
             Em            C            G          D
What if the world doesn't end when the fears come true?
            Em           C       G        D
What if we have what we need to make it through?
          Em         D          G       C
There is manna from heaven and mercies new
         C            G            D     Em   C   G   G
What if God is still here in this desert toooooooooo?

What if all my life I wrestle with my worry and anxiety?
     G                 G             G              G
What if the thorn deep in my side is only there to help me see
      Em                             C                      G
That though I never ask for it, the desert is God's gift to me?


CHORUS:
             Em            C            G          D
What if the world doesn't end when the fears come true?

There is manna from heaven and mercies new
         C            G           D     D
What if God is still here in the desert

 C            G            D     G  G  G  G  G  G  G  G  G
God is still here in this desert to
