Chorus 
                              D            A           Bm         G 
Now just the other day, I overheard a flower talking to the sky 
D            A                Bm       G        D            A          Bm x 2 
He said, you know that I would be nothing without you, oh, oh 
              D                 A     Bm                  G 
He said, you give me rain, you give the sun a place to shine 
D            A                Bm       G        D            A          Bm x 1  
You're everything that my whole existence comes down to, oh, oh 
G                                         E 
And then the flower started singing a song 
D            F#sus               F# 
Before I knew it, I was singing along 

And we sang 
 
Chorus: 
D            A                 Bm    G 
This is my declaration of dependence 
D            A                Bm    G 
This is my declaration of my need 
D            A                Bm    G 
This is my declaration of dependence 
G            D           A         Bm          G   D   A   Bm x 1 
On the One who gave His life to me 


                   D               A                Bm         G 
Now, let me say that I'm the kind of guy who wants to do it all myself 
D            A                Bm       G        D            A          Bm x 2 
Don't want to ask for help, don't like to stop for directions, oh, oh 
              D                 A     Bm                  G 
But in reality, I'm nothing on my own 
D            A                Bm       G        D            A          Bm x 1  
Its by God's grace alone that I can make this confession 
G                                         E 
All that I am and all I'm hoping to be 
D            F#sus               F# 
Is all and only what He's given to me 

So I say 

Bridge: 
C#     Bm 
And I know this is how my life was meant to be 
F#/A#  D/A 
I was made for this dependency 
F#/A#  Bm 
On the One who has created me 
C#     G 
So I'll sing my declaration song 
D/A   F#/A#     Bm 
For the One I am depending on 

And I hope you'll sing along
