🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • And I need you
  • 'Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
  • God gave me you for the days of doubt
  • And for when I think I lost my way

Echo the hook

  • God gave me you
  • Gave me you
  • There's more here than what we're seein'
  • A divine conspiracy
