D                  G     D
God of my life, to Thee I call,
 Bm       G       A      D
Afflicted at Thy feet I fall;
 D                      G        D
When the great water floods prevail
 Bm            G         A         D
Leave not my trembling heart to fail.


[Chorus]
 G             A      D        G
Poor though I am, despised, forgot
 G           A       D        G
Yet God, my God, forgets me not;
 G          A       D   D/C# D/B D/A G
And He is safe and must succeed for whom
      A              D
The Lord is sure to plead.


[Verse 2]
 D                        G       D
Friend of the friendless and the faint,
 Bm             G        A      D
Where should I lodge my deep complaint?
 D                          G    D
Where but with Thee, whose open door
 Bm            G      A       D
Invites the helpless and the poor!


[Chorus]
 G             A      D        G
Poor though I am, despised, forgot
 G           A       D        G
Yet God, my God, forgets me not;
 G          A       D   D/C# D/B D/A G
And He is safe and must succeed for whom
      A              D
The Lord is sure to plead.


[Verse 3]
 D                    G       D
That were a grief I could not bear,
 Bm             G        A      D
Didst Thou not hear and answer prayer;
 D                      G        D
But a prayer hearing, answering God
 Bm         G      A     D
Supports me under every load.


[Chorus]
 G             A      D        G
Poor though I am, despised, forgot
 G           A       D        G
Yet God, my God, forgets me not;
 G          A       D   D/C# D/B D/A G
And He is safe and must succeed for whom
      A              D
The Lord is sure to plead.
