Songs I like to Sing

If I find a song on CD that I like, I will usually try and work out the guitar chords for it so that I can sing it. Here are some of the songs I like to sing, along with guitar chords:


Altar Call

F                          Eb                       Bb
Some people don't find out 'til it's too late
           Gm   
That someone has to pay the price
F                                 Eb
You can pay it yourself (hah!) 
                       Bb
Or let someone else
               Gm                  
But who would be that nice
Dm          Bb               F
To pay a debt that isn't his.
          A                          Dm
Well I know someone like that
                      Bb                        Gm
And He's your best friend He really is,
                      Bb     C
He really loves you


F                          Eb                             Bb
Most people don't find out 'til they're half dead
               Gm
That they need another life
F                                       Eb                           Bb
You say you've heard everything that's ever been said 
                    Gm
About the way, the truth, the life
Dm                                      Bb               F
You say you've heard lots of preaching all before
              A       A7
So many times
Dm                    Bb               
But did you ever open up your door
Gm            Bb        C                B
Give Him a chance, to prove Himself

Well, He's real you know


G                           F                          C
Oh, I hope you find out before it's too late 
                  Am               G
That's there really nobody else
                                        F
You know it's breaking His heart the longer you wait
C                                 Am
Cause you've only been lyin' to yourself
Em                C                              G               B
Cause no-one believes a word you say, not even you
Em                                        C                       Am
You know you're going to find out that He's the way

No matter which way you choose
C                                           D    C  G      F   C
But I pray you find out by His love for you.
Am      D     C  G
By His love for you.

He Walked a Mile 

C                              G     Am
Before the threads of time began
C      G                     F        G
Was pre-ordained a mighty plan
C                                  G    Am
That I should walk with Him alone
C                  G     F     C
The cords of trust unbroken
C                             G            Am
But fate foresaw my wandering eye
        C            G     F    G
That none could yet restrain
     C                 G        Am
To violate this friendship I
            C             G           F  C
Would cause Him so much pain


C              Am                  G
And every time I close my eyes
              Am                  G
I see the nails, I hear the cries
                 Am               G
He did not keep Himself away
                   F                  G
He was no stranger to my pain
                                               C  G  Am  G  Am  C  G
He walked a mile in my shoes
                       C  G  Am  C  G  G  C
He walked a mile


C                   G                 Am
Feet so dusty cracked with heat
       C                   F             G
But carried on my love's heartbeat
    C                      G            Am
A man of sorrows filled with grief
C                 G          F   C
Forgiveness was His anthem
      C                        G            Am
No feeble blow from tongue or pen
          C                   F           C
Could ever sway my love for Him
   C                       G          Am
Across the echoed hills He trod
C                   G         F   C
And reached into my world

You

Ab                                                        Db
You, who made the whole world in Your hands
                           Bb
Walked along this land
                     Eb
Humbled as a man, You came down
       Ab                                    Db
And You, changing the water to wine
                             Bb
Gave Your greatest sign
                                 Eb
By changing lives like mine


Ebm7            Db
How did You know
     Ebm7       Db
I'd eventually go
            Ebm7            Gb
And take You for the Lord
         Ebm7  Eb
Of my life,    I'm so glad for


Ab                                      Db
You, how did you stand the shame
                                         Bb
When they laughed at Your name
                                Eb
Your Father felt such pain

Well how'd You take it
       Ab                                 Db
But You spoke not a word to defend

'Cause they'd see in the end
                        Eb
When You rose again


Ebm7               Db
Whenever You spoke

You, loving a world filled with hate

And the though the hour is late

You still choose to wait

But it won't be long until
Bb                                       Eb
You take the whole world by surprise

They won't believe their eyes
                                           F
When you come through the skies

When you return

All the foolish will learn

To decide...
