"You Fight for Me" by Dr Tumi is South African contemporary worship in D♭. 106 BPM, mid-tempo, one of Dr Tumi's definitive recordings.
1. The key: D♭ major
D♭ major. Scale: D♭, E♭m, Fm, G♭, A♭, B♭m, Cdim.
2. The chord shape
Verse: 1 to 5 to 6m to 4. Chorus: 4 to 1 to 5 to 6m to 4 to 1. Bridge sustains on 6m before the final chorus lift. The Dr Tumi recording shows the pacing.
3. The Sunday-ready play

- Left hand: root, fifth walking pattern.
- One move to add: on the bridge 6m sustain, voice it as B♭m9 for the tension before release.

Verse
Oh God You fight for me
When troubles come
When storms arise
I lift my eyes and look beyond the hills
And I will take no credit for the victory
It’s not about me
But it’s all you
When hope seems lost
And I’m giving in
I lift my voice and call upon the Lord
And I will take no credit for the victory
It’s not about me
But it’s all about you
Chorus
You are fighting for me Jesus (You are fighting for me Jesus)
None can stand against your power Lord
No nights too dark
No battle is too hard
You never lose (You never lose)
So I always win (So I always win)
Cause you fight for me
You fight for me Jesus (Lead)
You fight for me Jesus (Lead)
You fight for me (Lead)
Post Chorus
So come what may
Through the highs and lows
I’ll hold to you the one who’s faithful
And I will take no credit for the victory
It’s not about me
Bridge
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Praise God Who gives us victory
