Don’t Forsake Me

By Kevin Bueltmann ©2010

The musical flow to this song has soft acoustic verses with a driving chorus (with an acoustic chorus after the bridge) similar to:  Undo  & My Savior, My God

Intro: C  G F     C  G F
C                            Em    F                                 G
Oh, Lord, here I am again. I keep coming back to You.
C                               G
I am so ashamed. You know the awful things I do.
    F                        G
Things I regret -- Hard to forget.
   F                            G
Help me believe. -- Jesus, please,

Chorus:
               C                 Am                 F                    G                 C
Don’t forsake me, just take me, and make me, into who I need to be.
                  Am            Am                   F                   G                      C
Please just hold me, console me, and mold me, into who You want to see.
                   Am                Am               F                     G                        C
Please just wake me, and break me, remake me. Your grace -- it sets me free.
              Am              Am             F                 G           C
I bow before You, implore You, adore You for all eternity.

Lord, if other people knew all the sinful things I do.
Would they still love me the way that You do?
Jesus forgive -- so I can live
I’m so relieved -- You’ll never leave.

Am                              F
You take my place, My sin is erased!
         C                                F                     G
Your love sets me free. You give new life to me!
