Matthew West - The Center

Tuning: Standard

chorus, E can be played after G, but is not in the recording.

I got a feeling as a matter of fact

It's like my whole world just came under attack

And I hear a voice tellin' me to turn back

‘Cause I must be onto somethin'

It happens every single time I get close to

Everything I know is good and right and so true

It's like somebody doesn't want me to love You

And I must be onto somethin'

So help me hold on

Help me be strong

‘Cause I don't wanna move unless You move me

Chorus:

I wanna know how it feels to be

Standing in the center of Your will for me

I wanna know what surrender means

Keep me in the center of Your will for me

Keep me in the center

God forbid I start to think I'm on a roll now

‘Cause I do believe there is a battle for my soul now

And I can feel the world fighting for control now

I must be onto somethin'

So help me hold on just a little bit longer

‘Cause all this struggle's gonna do is make me stronger

This is the everyday prayer of my heart

I just wanna stay where You are

Chorus

Lord, help me hold on

Help me be strong

I don't wanna move unless You move me

Yeah, yeah, oh

Chorus

Continue Am F C G (E)

End on Am

Keep me in the center

I wanna know

I surrender, I surrender

I wanna know

You gotta help me, Lord, oh

Help me hold on

Help me hold on
