And I would have despair Verse I If I had not believe Oh the promises of God That you would come to me The rock on which I stand Great God who saves The truths to which I cling And in my darkest hour Your mercy & your power His love it knows no bounds Reaching out to me Showers us with grace Great God who saves Witholding all the pain Bridge Pre Chorus And in my pain, & in my need When I stumble You heard me calling out your name And my feet feel sore And I was blind, & could not see I will call your name You stepped down & saved a wretch Great God who saves like me Saved a wretch like me Chorus And I would have despair Chorus If I had not believe And I would have despair That you would come to me If I had not believe Great God who saves That you would come And in my darkest hour That you would come Your mercy & your power And you would come to me Reaching out to me And in my darkest hour Great God who saves Your mercy & your power Reaching out to me Verse II Great God who saves O the mystery of God Holds up space & time End Yet knows my every need And I would have despair If I had not believe The vastness of your power That you would come to me The strength you’ve given me Great God who saves I soar on eagles' wings And in my darkest hour Your mercy & your power Pre Chorus Reaching out to me When I stumble Great God who saves And my feet feel sore I will call your name Great God who saves Great God who saves
