Intro: Am / Fsus2 / C2 / G // Am / Fsus2 / C

Verse 1   Am / Fsus2 / C2 / G
You can find love if you want it
Just bad enough to lay it down
Don’t let the fluff you see disguise it
Or skepticism criticism modern theories let you drown

A new type life is

There’s something new on the horizon
It may seem un-natural to you

Life filled with love, yeah this is true
It takes sacrifice, but it’s surprising
And holds better than the strongest glue 
How long it lasts when built upon the truth

Chorus  FAug7 / C/G / G / Am

So c’mon down past Sherman Dr. I-65
Hang out with us on the South-west side
of Indi-anapolisNot far from Evansville, Indiana

We can share just a little slice
Of how the Lord can work in your life
Down here He has been on the move
InWith folks like me and you

Verse 2   (…in progress)

Bridge  C7 / Csus / C // Am / Am7 / G
You’ve got to know
That the Lord is with you
So let him show
Just how much love He’s got to give

It can be found

In average faces
Just look around
(and while your at it)

noteworthy tune spotlight: Love Will Hold Us Together – MM

We Praise

VERSE

You are my Rock
Firm where I set my feet
For the  doors that You knock
To the  hearts of those that I meet

I will not stop
With challenges that I face
Bringing others to P.O.P.
Our Life in the People of Praise

‘Cause we’re rich in You
It’s the life we choose, so

CHORUS

Voice 1: Praise the Lord   |   Voice 2: For His strength (and)
Praise the Lord                            For His grace (and)

Join the courts                            Of the angels
We adore                                        and Proclaim (s0)

Tell the neighbors, tell your friends
That the Spirit of the Lord is place to begin

You Care For Me

**Listen to the song HERE **

Verse 1

C/B – C – D // C/B – C – D // C/B – C – D // C/B – C – D

I need to take a step sometimes

Back from all the details in my plans

And find the time to recognize

That my success may take more than my hands

Verse 2

C/B – C – D // C/B – C – D // Em – C – D  // C/B – C – D

I have a father, who I know

Made me in his image of perfection

But these times, they help me grow

Through humble hits and arrogance protection prevention

Chorus

G – Em – Am7 – D //  G – Em – C – D

When I don’t understand

The way that things are goin’

I lift up my hands

And pray that You’ll be showin’

…me the way

By Your grace

I have faith in how you care for me

Faith in how you care for me

Bridge

I have faith, we have faith, I have faith in how you care

I have faith, we have faith, I have faith in how you care

I have faith, we have faith, I have faith in how you care

I have faith, we have faith, faith in how you care for me

Change Me Now

F#m / B / D#m / C#M / B
similar groove as Train’s If It’s Love

VERSE 1
male:
I could us a little convincing
When I’m not down with singing
One more song…from that worship set list

female:
I could a little convincing
When I’d rather miss this meeting
…Too many other…important things to do

VERSE 2
male:
But, Lord you could act through me
So I can give You glory
I know that I have seen you do it here before

female:
Yes, Lord you could move in me
And simplify my story
And give the grace that I need
And so I ask You now…to open up that door

REFRAIN
all (harm):
You can the one that softens up my heart
…Be the one that breaks this shell apart
Come change me now, Come change me now

You can be the one that opens up my eyes
…Be the one that frees me from these ties
Come change me now, Come change me now.

Your Love

B / E / B / F# // B / E / G#m / F# / B
note: U2-esc strumming pattern

Your love is better than money
Your love lets me be free
And I want to tell everybody
What You’ve done for me
What You’ve done for me

With You I’ve got a rock to stand on
With You I’ve what I need
I have been changed and forgiven
So your praise I sing

No matter how I might get worried
About the things I can’t control
I give it up to You in a hurry
And just let it go
I follow down Your road

What Else You Got

stylistic note: techno/trip-hop

chorus
what else you got for me here (echo: me here)
waiting around for the next big deal
been waiting ’round fo all these years
waiting around for a couple years
so make it found or make it clear
what else you got for me here

vs1 [work]
i’ve been racin’, pacin’, tryin’ to make face it, and figure out (echo/harm: out, out, out, out…)
runnin’, gunnin’, front in’, smooth talkin’, but though I’ve had my doubts (echo/harm: outs, outs, outs, outs…)
weigh it, pay it, say it, contemplate it, ever take a rest?
follow, borrow, sorrow, with the passion morals beating in from my chest

pre-chorus
think it through, blink in two
get a clue
cut it loose
break the news, why don’t you…ask the question?

(repeat chorus)

vs2 [faith]
choose it, lose it, bruise it, don’t abuse it ‘fore your time is up
find the mind you winded ’round the climb before you shook the dust
take the break, mistake you make, it’s bound to happen either way
fight the fight while in the light, don’t slough into the shades of gray

(repeat pre-chorus)
(repeat chorus)

…

inspiration note: internal thoughts written out loud to myself and to Him; daily challenges faced from work to faith.

choices big, I have to make
they tend to come and go

add to the current load

your advice keeps me in check
and some days gets me through
