Great song. I saw this on the wish list and decided I should give a
little back since I've taken dozens of songs from this group over the
years.
Special thanks to Cindy Rodriguez for her easy chord system and great
ear. Also, thanks to Jeff Johnson, Jeff Wheeler, and Matt Taylor for
the fun jamming sessions with this and other songs.
The main riff to this song is just C and F repeated over and over.
You can play it open but there is an electric guitar playing barred
chords up on the 8th fret. Sounds great with one guitar playing
open (acoustic) and the other barring (electric)
C F C F C F C
I see a hand reaching out to help me
C F C F C F C
but I don't understand all of Your ways
C F C
You are still the potter and I am just the clay
F
And though I know at times I am too proud
C F C
To reach for You, to help me out
G F
But if I waited on myself to get it right
C F C
I would be waiting here forever
*Chorus*
F
But Your grace is never gonna to change
C
And Your faith always will remain
G F C F C
And Your love is the same yesterday, today, and forever
*End Chorus*
I see a world looking for an answer but I don't know what for
When will we realize that we're
sinners in the hands of a loving God who came and died
And wants to set us free
Oh how He longs to be with you and me
But if we waited on the truth to change at all
We would be waiting here forever
*Repeat Chorus*
I see Your hand reaching out to help me
But I don't understand all of Your ways
but you saved me, I thank You Jesus
*Repeat Chorus*
Fade out with "Forever, forever, forever"
