God's Will for Our Lives [Ab]
is God's Will for Today.
This song

[Db] [F]

[Fm]
[Eb]
[Ab] Did I live with love and grace and dry the tears on some [Eb] small face?
[Bb] Did I drink
[Eb] the sunlight [Ab]
in [Db] and look [Ab] on losing [Eb] as a win?
[Fm] Did I take [Cm] the highest [F] road?
[Db] Did I
[Ab] repay the debt [Eb] I owe?
[Db]
Search [Eb] me, [Fm] search me [Bb] now [Db] I pray [Ab] and wash my every [Fm]
sin [Bb] away.
[Fm] Before the purple sun [Cm] sets high, before [Db] the
[Ab] carbadium [Eb] dies, before [Fm] I close my eyes to
[Ab] sleep and pray, dear Lord my soul [Eb] to keep.
Before [Fm]
I reach [F] the end [Cm] of day, I've gotta
[Db] know I've walked your way.
[Bbm] Before the darkness shades the ground, before [Eb] the sun goes [Ab] down,
[Eb]
[Ab]
did I keep [Eb] my word [Ab] today and mean the things [Eb] you heard me say?
Did I [Ab]
make [Eb] sincere [Ab]
amends
with those I'd wronged, [Eb] my kin [F] and friends?
[Fm] Did I seek [F] to be more [Fm] real [Db] and [Ab] verbalize the [Eb]
things I feel?
[Db] Did [Eb] I [Fm] think [Eb] on what [Db] is good [Ab] and help my brother [Fm] when [Eb] I could?
[Cm] [Fm] Before the purple sun [Cm] sets
high, before [Db] the [Ab]
carbadium [Eb] dies, before [Fm] I close my eyes to sleep [Eb] and pray, [Db] dear Lord [Ab] my soul to [Eb] keep.
Before [Fm] I reach the end of [Cm] day, I've gotta [Db] know I've walked your way.
[Bbm]
Before the darkness shades
the ground, [Db]
before [Eb] the sun goes
[Ab] down, [Eb] [Ab]
[Fm]
[Eb] [Db]
[Eb] as [Ab] I reflect I must confess I may not have passed [Eb] some test.
I [Ab] fell short [Eb] in [Ab] everything [Db] for my [Ab] poor flesh is [Eb] limiting [Fm] and I'll regret [Cm] my whole life [Fm] through.
[Db] I did not [Ab]
spend much time [Eb] with you, [Db] so while there's [Fm] time [Eb] and one [Db] more bless,
[Bb] and one [Eb] more hour
[Fm] of [Eb] daylight less.
Before [Fm] the purple sun sets [Cm] high, before [Db] the [Ab] carbadium
[Eb] dies, before [Fm] I close my eyes to [Cm]
sleep and pray,
[Db] dear Lord [Ab] my soul [Eb] to keep.
Before [Fm] I reach the end [Eb] of day, I've [Db] gotta know I've walked your way.
[Bb] Before [Bbm] the darkness shades the ground,
[Fm] before [Eb] the sun goes [Ab]
[Eb] down.
