 Verse 1:

G

I am the clown who juggles

 G7

 all my own struggles.

 D

 I try to find my own answers

 D7

 instead of seeking Yours.

 C

 If only I would place these

 Am

 problems in your hands,

 C

 You would give me peace.

Chorus:

D

 Peace that passeth understanding

 A                              D

 comforts me when I, my blunders, bring

 G                                   D

 to Christ; through Whom I can do all things,

 A

 For, He strengthens me. He strengthens me

 G                             D                               A

 and, from the chains I've placed on myself, sets me free

 A                              D                     G

 (and, from these self-inflicted chains, sets me free)

Verse 2:

 Blindly walking the tight-rope,

 I am a complete dope.

No safety net below me.

I claim to be free,

But myself, I have chained

to my own foolishness

Thus my heart is pained.

Bridge:

 C

 Thus my heart is pained.

 G

 'cause I have refrained

 Dm

 from truly trusting You.

 C

 Oh, if only I would

 G                      G7

 truly, completely trust You

 C

You would give me peace

 (Repeat Chorus)
