Ab13 
Every time I look back 
                        Bb13 
And every time I think back 
Bb 
On all the stuff I been through 
                              
I prayed through I cried through 
C7(#5b9)          Ab13                             Bb13                                   
And then I tried you and just when I was about to fall 
                               C7(#5b9)                       
Your love caught me when your name I called 
Fm         Gm/Bb Fm/Bb    Bbm7     Ab       
Jesus you keep on looking out for me 
Ab13              
Remember when the doctor said 
                              Bb13  
He said he couldn't help you and 
                                                    
Remember when the money was getting low 
                           C7(#5b9) 
You're hurtin' now you're feelin' low and 
    Ab13                         
Just when you thought the night would never end 
Bb13                          C7(#5b9)                                   
The sun came out now you can smile again 
Fm         Gm/Bb Fm/Bb    Bbm7   Ab 
Jesus you keep on look-in' out for me 
Ab7      Bb/Ab    Dbm6/Ab    Ab     
You keep on lookin out for me (repeat 3x's) 
Fm/Bb        Fm/D    Db/Eb Db/Gb C7(#9)
In spite of all I've done 
Fm7   Bb13                Db/Eb   Ab
Jesus you keep on look-in out for me 
Ab13        
I shouldn't be here today 
                                         Bb13                               
And when I look back on all my mistakes if it hadn't been for your grace 
                   C7(#5b9)
I don't know where I'd be where I'd go 
Ab13                                  
Who can love me like you do 
 Bb13                        C7(#5b9)
And who can hold me when I'm goin' through? 
Fm         Gm/Bb Fm/Bb   Bbm7    Ab
Jesus you keep on lookin out for me
