You Alone

This is something that's been on my heart for a while now. I wrote the lyric to this sometime last March. About a week ago I figured out some music to go with it. Playing and listening to this have been hugely encouraging to me in a somewhat difficult season personally. It's very rough and I'll be the first to admit I don't know how to sing, but hopefully you can find some encouragement in it as well. Remember that God is good.



(1st Verse)
G ---------------------------------D
From the ends of the earth I call to you

And the evening fades

And a trembling heart

To you I lift my voice

Until you are all that I see

My future and past

All else will fade
