NF - I'll Keep On
Capo 3
[Chorus]
EmOh these haDnds are tirGed   EmOh this heDart is tiGred       EmOh this sDoul is tGired
But I'll kEmeep on,  I'll keDep on,  I'll keeGp on  I'll kEmeep on,  I'll keDep on,  I'll keGep on
[Verse 1]
AmFaith is Emsomething I am not accustomed to
DTrusting Cother people 's something I don't really love to do
AmI've nevEmer been a fan of it, I act tougher
DReally mCy shoulders they ain't built for this and I don't have nothing
AmIt's likEme I'm standing in the rain and you offer me a raincoat
DBut I woCuld rather stand there, wringing wet, than take the handout
AmWhat's wEmrong with me? You said you've always got your hands out
DAnd I caCn't continue on my own so take my hands now
AmI give yEmou everything, God, not just a little bit
DTake it Cfrom me, I am nothing but a hypocrite
AmI hate sEmin but I built a house and I still live in it
DAfraid tCo open up the door to you 'n let you into it
AmMy soul Emis lost and what it needs is your direction
DI know, CI've told you I do not need your protection
AmBut I liEmed to you, this thing is tiring
DAnd man Cwas not created for it, God Please retire me now
[Chorus]
EmOh these haDnds are tirGed   EmOh this heDart is tiGred       EmOh this sDoul is tGired
But I'll kEmeep on,  I'll keDep on,  I'll keeGp on  I'll kEmeep on,  I'll keDep on,  I'll keGep on
[Verse 2]
AmAnd trusEmt is something I am not accustomed to 
Dand I knCow the bible says that I should always trust in you
AmBut, I dEmon't ever read that book enough
DAnd when CI have a question I don't take the time to look it up  Or pick it up
AmIt, collEmects dust on my nightstand
DI'm just Cbeing honest Please take this outta my hands
AmI have nEmo control - I am just a person
DBut thanCk the Lord that I serve a God that's perfect
AmI do not Emdeserve the opportunity you've given me
DI never Cknew what freedom was until I learned what prison means
AmI am not Emashamed, I don't care if they remember me
DMy life Cwill always have a hole if you are not the center piece
AmTake me Emout of bondage, take all of my pride
DIf I donC't have a Savior, I don't have nothing inside
AmTake all Emof my lust, take all of my lies
DThere's Cno better feeling then when I look in the sky, in your eyes     It's amazing
[Chorus]
EmOh these haDnds are tirGed   EmOh this heDart is tiGred       EmOh this sDoul is tGired
But I'll kEmeep on,  I'll keDep on,  I'll keeGp on  I'll kEmeep on,  I'll keDep on,  I'll keGep on
[Outro]
EmWoaahh  WoDah woah Gwoah
