Chords for The Gospel Plowboys - When He Reached Down His Hand For Me

I believe that it's one that I [C#] believe God would want us to do here tonight.
You see, I had a daddy _ that left here in 1997, went on to be with the Lord.
You see, I didn't come up in church, [G#] never been [G] in church until I met my [E] wife.
And _ _ [N] went to church because she did, and thought I got saved,
but I didn't get saved, it was a head nod.
_ But thank God in 1986, _ my dad came up to me several years before that,
and he said, we played Bloodgrass music together for years.
And he said, _ [E] _
[Em] I got saved, I don't wanna [N] play that music anymore. _ _ _
And I told him, and I'm ashamed to say it, but _ God knows my heart.
I said, Daddy, _ if all I had to do is just [F#] to go up and
down the [N] road and sing at [B] this church and that church, I don't want no part of it.
I'm ashamed of [N] that, but I said that.
But you know what?
1986, God forgave me of that.
Bless your heart.
[B] God forgave me of that.
_ [C#]
[C#m] This song, I'm gonna ask them if they'll come around and [C#] we'll do it.
[G] If you can, I [D#m] think we're not to [F#] dwell on the past, [N] but
we're not to forget where we're from.
You see, when God reached out his hand for me,
he had to reach way down, the song says.
And I [C#m] just thank God that ever since then,
_ though I fail him [N] miserably, every day,
he still loves me enough to take care of me and
my family and give me [G] the lessons _ [C#] that he does.
And if you're here tonight, [Em] and _ [G#m] I don't know,
I don't [E] really know what to do. _
_ [B] _ _ [D#] If you feel that you need to [E] come and offer,
[C] I would pray that you would do that.
_ _ _ _ It's just, _ [E] just follow God.
Somebody holds the key to this [G#] service right _ here.
I don't [N] know who it is, it's not us.
_ It's somebody right here.
Just let God have his way here tonight.
[D] When he reached down his hand for me.
