Verse 1
As I (D)journeyed up the mountain
Of (A)service, Lord, for You,
My (G)heart was full of things I thought
You (A)wanted me to do.
I (D)struggled long and hard to earn
A (A)place inside Your heart,
But (G)seldom did I know my works
Kept (D)You and I ap(A)art.

Refrain
My (Em)problems rose like waves a'crashing
(C)On my storm-tossed boat,
Con(Em)ceit and pride controlled me,
Desp(D)air was like my coat.
While (Em)others all around me
Walked (C)nearer to Your side,
I (Em)longed to know the secret,
How I, (A)too, could be Your Bride.

Chorus 1
Then (D)Jesus, loving Jesus,
You (Bm)drew me close to You,
And (Em)showed me that sweet secret
That (A)many others knew.
And (A#dim)now I know that there's no way
To (F#m)earn Your Love and (Bm)trust,
But(Em) to hold still and love You, Lord,
And (G)be Your yielded (A)dust.

Verse 2
My (D)life is so much happier now,
I've (A)found such joy in You,
For (G)all You ask of me is that I (A)trust Your Word so true.
The (D)pain, confusion, doubts and fears
Are (A)covered by Your Love,
My (G)heart now soars, for I'm in love
With (A)You, my Lord Above.

Bridge
I (Bm)love You, Jesus, all my life and(F#m) service now I bring
And (G)lay it down before You as my
(A)Bridegroom and my King.
(Bm)Use me as it pleases You, for (F#m)You my life do own.
You (Em)taught me that sweet secret of tru(C)sting You (A)alo(B)ne.

Chorus 2
(E)Hey, You (C#m)drew me close to You
And (F#m)showed me that sweet secret that (B)'til this day holds true.
And (Cdim)now I know that there's no way to
(G#m)Earn Your Love and(C#m) trust,
But (F#m)to hold still and love You, Lord, and
(A)Be Your yielded (B)dust.

Chorus 3
Oh Je(E)sus, loving Jesus, You (C#m)drew me close to You,
And (F#m)showed me that sweet secret that
(B)'Til this day holds true.
And (Cdim)now I know that there's no way to
(G#m)earn Your Love and(C#m) trust,
But (F#m)to hold still and love You, Lord, and
(A)Be Your yielded du(B)u(E)st.
