E
You will not forget the feeling
G#m
When you first begin believing
F#m                                              G#7
And you turn aside from following your nose
C#m                      C#m/B                   C#m/A#     F#7
Maybe you smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
E/B        B7sus     B7
Yes, it shows

When at last you learn to follow
Christ the Lord through your tomorrows
And you say to sin, “I’m gonna let you go”
You’ll find you want the world and all your friends to know
What they must know:

E               C#m
You can’t live while living life without Him,
F#m           B7
You can’t live full of lies anymore,
E                 C#m
Just believe, surrender never more to sin,
F#m            B7
Feel the need to conform to His Law!

As you stumble through the darkness
Unaware that in your blindness
Every thought you think is rotten to the core
The One you seek, whose call you’ve often heard before,
You have ignored….

You can’t live if living is without truth,
You can’t live with those lies anymore,
Just believe, and show remorse for lusts of your youth
Turn to Christ who still stands at the door.

Make the word of God your treasure
As you pass through stormy weather
As a pilgrim to the New Jerusalem;
Be sure to question those who seem to comprehend –
Yet are but men!

You can’t live while living life without Him,
You can’t live serving lies anymore,
Just believe, surrender never more to your sin,
Feel the need to conform to His Law!
