Chords for The Bowling Family, Ronny Hinson - The Lighthouse

and you knew that [F] God had orchestrated something [E] bigger.
And I want to say something real quick.
[D] Every time [F#] that I went on stage to [F] receive an award
[E] _
that I'm grateful for,
[F] could have been an opportunity [E] for flesh
to get all puffed up and think,
[B] man, you're something else.
But God would [F#] remind me that the [E] greatest song,
biggest song that I ever wrote in my life
was about something that I'd never laid eyes on.
[A] And it had to be that [F] when I sat there that day
on that old sand dune,
[E] I looked out across the ocean and I saw that [D#] lighthouse
and I saw the picture [E] that God had given me
on that piece of toilet paper.
You couldn't have read it, but the [E] ink was faded,
but I knew what it said.
[D#] I knew that God had orchestrated something bigger than me.
And it said to me that God can take a nothing
and touch it with his [F] hand
and with his purpose and his [D] plan
and he can make everything.
Amen.
[N] Praise God.
