Artist: Phil Keaggy
Song: Things I will Do
Album: Love Broke Through
Release Date: October, 1976
I originally learned this song from his now long out-of-print "The Phil Keaggy
Songbook." I've since lost that song book (ARRRGGGHH!)
I tabbed this from my memory, and have played against the record/CD. I think it sounds
pretty close.
Lyrics are from philkeaggy.com.

Last night I asked my heavenly Father

About the way I should go.

And He spoke to me these words of simple truth.
