Tamra's first original song! A sweet tune she heard after praying for Help that ended up pulling her through a difficult time.

LYRICS & CHORDS
Intro (like Chorus: C G C G C G D)
G C G
Once upon a time, I was unraveling
C G D
from so much darkness, I could hardly see
G C G
I went to sleep one night and You spoke to me
C G D G
the words that You whispered changed everything
CHORUS
C G
You said, "I got you, don't worry about a thing"
C G
You said, "I'm right here, it's only a dream"
C G
You said, "I love you, there is nothing to fear"
D G
"You’ve been lost in a nightmare, I'll take it from here."
~INTRO CHORDS~
G C G
From that day forward, my life fell apart
C G D
But I didn't care, I just followed my heart
G C G
You held my hand and You walked me through it all
C G D G
You were my guide as I answered the call
~CHORUS~
BRIDGE:
C D
But once in a while, the fears still arise
G C
and I can’t hear You above all of the lies
C D
so I quiet my mind and listen carefully
G C
and in a matter of time Your words come back,
D
come back to me,
ALTERNATE CHORUS:
C G
"I still got you, don't worry about a thing
C G
I'm still right here, it's only a dream
C G
I’ll always love you, there is nothing to fear
D G
You’ve been lost in a nightmare, I’ll take it from here"
FINAL VERSE:
G C G
One by one, right before my eyes
C G D
miracles appear; every day a surprise
G C G
You go before me, and handle everything
C G D G
life went from a nightmare, to a happy dream
REGULAR CHORUS
C G
You said, "I got you, don't worry about a thing"
C G
You said, "I'm right here, it's only a dream"
C G
You said, "I love you, there is nothing to fear"
D G
"You’ve been lost in a nightmare, I'll take it from here"
