Patiently Praising Chords by Fred Jerkins, Lowell Pye

[Fm] _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ Oh yeah, _ [Fm] _ mmm, _ _ _
[Ab] _ yeah, [Gb] yeah
[Ab] Got some bad news from the physician
[Eb] My heart started pounding as I [Bb] listened
To [Fm] what I was saying
Cause in [Bb] my head I never [D] thought it could happen to [Ab] me
But I recall what I was [Eb] taught
In the 34th chapter of the book [Bb] of Psalms
[Fm] In spite of our afflictions
He'll [Bb] deliver us [C] from them [Gb] all
[Ab] _ _ [Db] I trust [Ab] in your lies and you
I know you're gonna bring [Fm] me through
Through this trial
But [Ab] I'm not ending that
I know it's gonna [Gb] get [Ab] hard sometimes
[Db]
And when those [Ab] moments come
I'll rest within [Fm] your arms
And give you praise for [Ab] what's about to [Db] come
_ _ _ No matter how long it takes
I'll never give [Fm] up my praise
So while I [Ab] wait
[Ebm] I'll be patiently [Db] praising you
_ [Ab] No matter how _ _ long it takes
I'll never [Db] give up [Fm] my praise
So while I wait _
[Ab] I'll be patiently praising [Db] you
[Ab] Every day is a brand new day
Gotta take some time to renew [Bbm] my [Bb] faith
Cause the pain is saying [Fm] the opposite
Of what the Bible [Ab]
says in the book [Gb] of [Ab] James
The proud [Eb] faith shall [Ab] save the sick
The Lord [Eb] will raise them [Bb] up once again
That encourages [Bbm] me to praise him [Ab] along [D] the [Ab] way
To my [Db] breakthrough
I trust in your lies and you
I still trust in you
[Fm] I know you're gonna bring me through
You're gonna bring me through
Through this trial
But [C] I'm not ending that
Cause it's gonna [Db] get hard sometimes
And when those moments come
And when they come I'm gonna [Fm] rest in your arms
And give you praise for [Ab] what's about [Ebm] to come [Db] Yeah
_ No matter how long it takes
No matter how long it takes
I'll never give [Fm] up my praise
While I wait
_ [Ab] I'll [C] be patiently praising [Db] you
No [Ab] matter how long it takes
No matter how [Fm] long it takes
I'll never give up my praise
While I wait _
[Ab] I'll be patiently praising you
I won't [E] let the circumstance
Or [Fm] the [Eb] evidence
Stop me [Ab] from raising [Bbm] my hands to [Cm] you
As [Db] I go through
[C] Lord I'll patiently [Db] praise you
As I go through
_ I'll never give up my praise
I'll never, [Bb] no
While [Ab] I wait
I'll be [C] patiently [Db] praising you
No matter how long it takes
I'll never give up [Bb] my praise
I won't give it up, no
While [Fm] [Ab] I wait
I'll be patiently praising you
[C] _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Db] No [Ab] matter how [Db] long it takes
I'll never give [Fm] up my praise
I'll never give up my [G] praise
[Fm] While I [C] wait
I'll [Ab] be patiently _ praising you
_ [Db] _ [Ab] No matter how [Db] _ long it [Fm] takes
I'll never give up my praise I'll never
While [Ab] I wait
I'll be patiently praising you
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] No matter how [Db] long it takes
I'll never give up [Fm] my praise
I won't give it up, no
[G]
[Fm] While I wait
[C] _ I'll be patiently praising [Db] you
I'll lift my hands
_ I'll raise my voice
[Fm] I'll never give up my praise
Because it's been so good to me
I'll never give up my praise
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
