How many of you tonight

_ We have a song
that we [F] want to sing.
_ _ [Cm] _ They don't sing it like this
no more, Pastor.
_ [Eb] And in this [F] song,
we're singing about a [Cm] storm. _ _
_ You know a lot of people
don't [F] realize what a storm is.
[Cm] _ _ _
_ Some people think
it has to be raining
for it to be storming.
[Fm] _
_ [Cm] Some people think
the [F] wind has to be blowing
for [Cm] it to be storming.
_ But I [Gm] like to
use my [F] way
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Cm] _ to tell you
what I think that [F] a storm is.
I [Eb] find out
from [C]
[Cm] experience, you see,
when death
_ [F] _
_ come in [Gm] your family,
[C] _
[Cm] _ that's a [Eb] storm.
[F] Can I get a witness in this church tonight?
[G] _ _ [C]
[Cm] When you lose someone
that you [F] love so well,
[Eb] _ _ _
_ that's a storm.
_ [F] _
Help me sometime.
[Cm] But one of these old days, _ _ _ _
I better cut this [G] song off.
[Cm] _
_ One of these _ [F]
old days,
_ [A] _ _ [B] _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ it'll be all over with.

I've been
_ _ _ [Ebm]
[G] in the storm _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ Oh, [Cm] I've been
_ _ in the storm
for too long _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ Sometime [F] I have to tell him
[C] Oh Lord, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
please _ _ please _ Lord _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] just
for [Cm] _ _ _ _ too long
_ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
[Cm] _ When my Lord
did more [F] than I can bear
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ When I've done
all I [F] can do
Don't it [Cm] get like that [F] sometimes?
And my [Eb] friends
still don't understand
You know what I tell the Lord?
I tell him, I [A] say,
[Cm] _ I had _ [Ebm]
[G] it hard
_ How many of you
know what [Cm] I'm talking about?
_ How many know what [Bb] I'm talking about?
Lift your hand when I say
[Cm] I had _ _ _ it hard
_ for too long _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] Sometime I [Bb] say [Cm] Oh Lord please
_ _ [B] _

[B] _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Eb] How many know [B] God can [Eb] bring peace
_ _ [F] in the midst of a storm?

_ _ _ _ [B] when we run [Eb] across friends
that we feel like love [F] us
_ _ [Eb] But I don't know about y [B]'all
but [Cm] I've had some experience with friends
_ [F] _
_ I don't run across friends
as long as I'm doing alright
they ring my doorbell _
_ But soon as I get [Cm] low
and money they'll walk away
and won't even come and see me
_ What I'm trying to tell you
is a lot of these friends
smile in your face
and stick a [F] knife in your back
at the [G] same time
[Cm] Won't they do it? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
But what a day
_ _ [F] _

_ [F]
When, _ _ [A] _ when, when, [Cm] when
when, when, when, when
when it's [F] all over
When [G] _ _ [B] _
[Cm] _ [Gm] my heart stop beating
[F] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C]
When my [Eb] tongue has been glued
to the roof of my [F]
mouth
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _
That's when it'll be all over
_ [F] _
Hallelujah
_ [G] It'll [B] be no [Cm] more pain
_ Y'all excuse me but [F] I'm getting happy
It'll be [G] no more [Cm] pain
_ It'll be
no more [F] pain
It'll be [G] no more pain
[Cm]
All of my
upset times will [F] be over
You know what [Cm] I'm gonna tell God _ _
I had
_ _ [Gb]
[G] to cry
_ How many of y'all
ever had [Cm] to get up at night sometimes
with tears [Bb] streaming
down your eyes
Seemed like you wasn't gonna [Cm] be able to make it
[Gm] But how many can just
tell you the pride that God
made a way
[G] Oh [Cm] _ He made a way [Bb] Oh Oh
_ _ [F] _ _ [Cm]
Oh Lord
He _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ made [F] a way
