Chorus
C G Am F
Now just the other day, I overheard a flower talking to the sky
C G Am F C G Am x 2
He said, you know that I would be nothing without you, oh, oh
C G Am F
He said, you give me rain, you give the sun a place to shine
C G Am F C G Am x 1
You?re everything that my whole existence comes down to, oh, oh
F D
And then the flower started singing a song
C Esus E
Before I knew it, I was singing along
And we sang
Chorus:
C G Am F
This is my declaration of dependence
C G Am F
This is my declaration of my need
C G Am F
This is my declaration of dependence
F C G Am F C G Am x 1
On the One who gave His life to me
C G Am F
Now, let me say that I?m the kind of guy who wants to do it all myself
C G Am F C G Am x 2
Don?t want to ask for help, don?t like to stop for directions, oh, oh
C G Am F
But in reality, I?m nothing on my own
C G Am F C G Am x 1
Its by God?s grace alone that I can make this confession
F D
All that I am and all I?m hoping to be
C Esus E
Is all and only what He?s given to me
So I say Chorus
