Chords for Keith Green - When I Hear The Praises Start (live)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ This is a song that the Lord wrote to me.
Keith, you're an egomaniac thinking God's going to write you a song.
He's got better things to do keeping the moon in orbit.
I mean, it's going to take time to sit down at the piano and write you a song?
You're nuts. _
I said, well, I was really in need, you know, and I'm his little kid. _
And he wanted to please me.
I mean, which one of you parents, if you had a two-year-old daughter and lost her little nickel, _
would go up to her and go, it's only a nickel.
I mean, you know, go, oh, the baby lost a nickel.
_ Oh.
_ Right?
We're God's little kids.
He cares about our lost nickels compared to his universes.
He's the God of the small and the great.
[C] You don't have to, you know, to get a healing from God, you don't have to.
He's not like Marcus Welby.
You don't need to have cancer, you know, for him to come to your house.
So many people go to the Lord and go, God, you know, I've only got a cold.
I'm going to save up for something real big, you know, before I ask you for a healing.
_ And that's not the way we should come to the Lord.
So I came to the Lord one day going, God, I haven't written a song in two months.
He goes, aw.
So he wrote me one.
