F#
I spend all my time
dreaming what the future's gonna bring
When all of this time there's
a world passing by right in front of me
                    C#  
Set my sights on tomorrow while
              B  
I'm tripping over today

          F#              F#sus4
Who says big things are somewhere off in
     F#
the distance
                     D#m7
I don't want to look back just to see all
the times that I missed it
              C#                           B
I want to be here and now, starting right here
right now

Chorus:
                   F#
With the very next words of love to be spoken
                  D#m
To the very next heart that's shattered and broken
                 C#                    B
To the very next way you're gonna use me
                   F#
Show me the next thing (ohhh)
                  D#m    B
I'll do the next thing (ohhh)

Let my very next breath
Breathe out a song of praise to You
With my very next step
Be on a road that was planned by You
Lord, wherever You're leading me
That's where I want to be

Chorus

F#
Eyes wide open, I see you working
All around me you're on the move
Step by step I'm running to meet you
In the next thing, in the next thing

Eyes wide open, I see you working
All around me you're on the move
Step by step I'm running to meet you
In the next thing

Chorus:
With the very next words
Of love to be spoken
To the very next heart
That's shattered and broken
To the very next way
You're gonna use me
Show me the next thing

Eyes wide open
I see You working
All around me
You're on the move
Step by step
I'm running to meet You
In the next thing
In the next thing
Eyes wide open
I see You working
All around me
You're on the move
Step by step
I'm running to meet You
In the next thing
In the next thing
Eyes wide open
I see You working
All around me
You're on the move
Step by step
I'm running to meet You
In the next thing
In the next thing
