The first song on the album is called steadfast and I wrote it with Josh Silverberg and Leslie Jordan
We spent [Eb] some time with the Psalms when we wrote that song
It ends up being the first song on the album [F] because it has a little bit of that
Just a little bit of [Bb] that vinegar of what it is to
[G] It's the Tom Petty language of basically saying like I won't back down.
[Dm] It's it's God's defiance
Against all that is broken [Dbm] and his ultimate victory over those things and the way that [N] he
Accomplishes that is by his own steadfast
unrelenting pursuing love so I am staking everything on that and
[Abm] And it gives me confidence to sing it [Bm] even on the days when I'm not so sure how I feel
[G] I [D]
[Bm] [G] [D]
[Bm] will build [G] my house [D] where the storm won't dry
[Bm] On the rock [G] that [D] does not move

[D] steadfast, [Bm] [G] [D] steadfast
By [Bm] the words [G] you [D] spoke, all the starry hills
[Bm] Are called out [G] by [D] name each night

[Bm] On your promise [G] [D] I will stand
[Bm] I will shout [G] for [D] joy, I will raise my voice
[Bm] Hallelujah [G] [D] to the Lamb
You [Bm] are [D] steadfast,
[Bm] [G] [D] steadfast
You
[Bm] are [G] [D] steadfast,
[Bm] [D] steadfast
In [Gbm] the moment of [G] emptiness all was fulfilled
[D] In the hour of darkness [A] your light was [D] revealed
[Gbm] In the presence of death [G] your life was affirmed
