Capo 1
[Verse 1]
DLook at the stars, hung in the sky
Who put them there? Who Ggives them light?
No ocean deep, CDould hold His grace
Follow His lead, aGnd He'll make a way
He broke the fall whDen He rose from the grave
He changed it all in a Gmatter of days
No matter how greBmat the problem we face
We gotta rememberG, he stays the same
[Chorus]
When you just canD't face tomorrow
When you're down deep Gin the sorrow
When your faith is Bmon the edge, don't be afraid to step
Cause even Gif you'll fail to fly
He'll catch you by surprise!D  
He'll catch you by surprise!G

Surprise

Capo 1

[Verse 1]

Look at the stars, hung in the sky

Who put them there? Who gives them light?

No ocean deep, Could hold His grace

Follow His lead, and He'll make a way

He broke the fall when He rose from the grave

He changed it all in a matter of days

No matter how great the problem we face

We gotta remember, he stays the same

[Chorus]

When you just can't face tomorrow

When you're down deep in the sorrow

When your faith is on the edge, don't be afraid to step

Cause even if you'll fail to fly

He'll catch you by surprise!

[Verse 2]

Don't be afraid, stand on your feet

His hands of love, hold everything

All that we know, can't comprehend

His perfect will, and His perfect plan

[Chorus]

So when you just can't face tomorrow

When you're down deep in the sorrow

When your faith is on the edge, don't be afraid to step

Cause even if you'll fail to fly

He'll catch you by surprise!

[Bridge]

When you're fading in the fight

He'll catch you by surprise o-oh

And He won't let go

He will turn the dark to light

Right before your eyes o-oh

And He won't let go

[Chorus]

When you just can't face tomorrow

When you're down deep in the sorrow

When your faith is on the edge, don't be afraid to step

Cause even if you'll fail to fly

He'll catch you by surprise!

Bm G

He'll catch you by surprise!
