He’s Got Me

INTRO — soft piano, almost whispered

When I couldn't see the road ahead...
You were already there.
When I couldn't find the strength to pray...
You heard my heart.

VERSE 1 — intimate, vulnerable

There were nights I couldn't see tomorrow,
Couldn't find the strength to face the day,
I had questions buried in my sorrow,
And every prayer felt so far away.

But somewhere in the silence,
I could feel You drawing near,
Like a whisper through the darkness saying,
“My child, you don't have to fear.”

You were there when I was broken,
You were there when I couldn't stand,
When I thought that I was walking all alone,
You were holding my hand.

PRE-CHORUS — slowly building

And though I walk through the valley,
I know I'm not walking alone,
Your rod and Your staff will comfort me,
Your love will lead me home.

CHORUS — BIG, BEAUTIFUL, EMOTIONAL

You've got me, Lord,
When the whole world lets me down,
You've got me, Lord,
When there's no one else around.

Underneath Your wings,
I can finally breathe again,
You are my shelter in the storm,
My beginning and my end.

So I won't fear tomorrow,
I won't be afraid tonight,
'Cause the God who holds the heavens
Is the God who holds my life.

You've got me, Lord...
You've always had me in Your hands.

BACKGROUND VOCALS — soft harmony

You've got me...
You've got me...
Always in Your hands...

VERSE 2 — personal and tender

When my heart is filled with doubt and worry,
When my soul feels empty as the night,
When I've searched for love in every place
And still can't seem to make it right,

I'll reach for You, my Father,
I'll lay every burden down,
I'll bring You every broken piece
And let Your peace surround me now.

You said, “Fear not, I am with you,”
And I believe Your word is true,
When I don't know where tomorrow leads,
I'll put tomorrow in Your hands, too.

PRE-CHORUS — stronger

You are my refuge and my fortress,
My strength when I am weak,
And when I don't have words to pray,
Your Spirit hears me speak.

CHORUS — FULLER HARMONIES

You've got me, Lord,
When the whole world lets me down,
You've got me, Lord,
When there's no one else around.

Underneath Your wings,
I can finally breathe again,
You are my shelter in the storm,
My beginning and my end.

So I won't fear tomorrow,
I won't be afraid tonight,
'Cause the God who holds the heavens
Is the God who holds my life.

You've got me, Lord...
You've always had me in Your hands.

BRIDGE — music drops, voice almost alone

If you're listening with a heart that's hurting,
If you're wondering if God still hears,
If your faith is hanging by a thread
And you've been fighting all these years...

Reach for Him.

If your hands are empty,
Reach for Him.
If your heart is heavy,
Reach for Him.

When you can't see the way,
He'll be your light.
When you're scared to face tomorrow,
He'll stay by your side.

You don't have to carry
Every burden by yourself.

Give Him your worry.
Give Him your fear.
Give Him your broken heart.

He's always been near.

BUILD — CHOIR ENTERS QUIETLY

Reach for Him...
Reach for Him...

KEY CHANGE — VOCAL EXPLOSION

Nothing in this world can take His love away,
Not the darkness, not the distance,
Not the things you couldn't change.

Not the past, not the future,
Not the mountain, not the sea,
There is nothing in creation
That can separate you from His love for me!

FINAL CHORUS — MASSIVE
