Chords for The Isaacs, How Great Thou Art

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'm here with a man named Joe Isaacs, who I reckon must have been a pretty handsome fella.
_ Because he stole her heart pretty quick.
She's never heard a bad joke except from the Beverly Hillbillies.
And then she married [Gm] one of them.
Or it has a 24 karat hillbilly, I'm proud of it.
And it's an amazing story.
It really is an amazing story.
They got married, they started singing, and then they had three of [N] the most amazing kids that you'll ever meet anywhere.
_ Now I'm going to_
I'm kidding folks, only two of us are [Eb] amazing.
_ _ I'm going to introduce both of them to you right now.
Starting out with the big fella on the bass.
He's a little bit taller today because he's standing on the platform.
And we got flats on today, we weren't about to dig our high heels into this.
Did anybody else wear high heels tonight? _ _
Our sound man raised his hand, but I hope not.
_ _ [E] He's funny.
Anyway, this is Vin, he's a very talented bass player as you can tell.
One of my favorites [N] in all of music.
Great singer and his beautiful wife Mindy.
She's here and they have three kids too, which are here today.
Kyra and Jacob, we're glad to have them with us.
Vin is very talented and he's a great producer.
In fact, he's had a lot of awards and nominations for his productions for other artists.
And he's had six Grammy nominations.
We're so proud of him.
And _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ now for the baby of the family.
[Gm] _ _ [A] Aw, [Eb] baby.
_ _ [C] _
This is our little sister Becky.
And I have to brag about her today.
She's got a little_
[Bb] She said, don't talk about it.
[E] She gets claustrophobic sometimes.
_ _ So if I pass out, you know why. _
But she's doing a great job today.
Wonderful singer, great guitar [B] player, great songwriter.
In fact, she's won many awards for her songs and also for her singing.
And we couldn't do it without her, she's so talented.
And she's married to that guy over there playing the banjo.
And they have a beautiful family together.
But I have to tell you a quick story about [G] Becky.
I love to tell this.
Everywhere we go, since we were kids, she's been telling us she looks [N] like a singing pop celebrity.
Can you guess which one?
_ Cher.
Cher.
Cher, that's right.
And _ she's not particularly fond of [D] that compliment.
I think she's a lot prettier and she certainly dresses better, in my opinion.
_ _ [Eb] _
She's at a dress period.
Anyway.
_ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ Anyway, it wasn't too long ago, a few years ago.
We had the day off.
We were playing in Kentucky that night.
But [Gm] we got to go shopping that day.
We love to [G] shop.
And we were in the pennies.
And Becky picked out some clothes that she wanted to buy.
And I was right behind her in line.
She took them up to the cash [N] register.
And the cashier looked at her and she said,
Do you know who you look like?
And Becky kind of rolled her eyes and said,
Yeah, Cher.
She said, No.
Becky Isaacson.
Have you ever heard of the Isaacson? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ We didn't even get a discount.
_ First time.
Welcome, Mr.
Rebecca Isaacson.
Welcome.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, thank you all.
It's a pleasure to be here.
I get the honor of [D] introducing our middle sister.
_ And all of [N] her life, she has been in the middle of everything.
_ _ Sonia is an [Bb] amazing _ musician [G] and vocalist.
And just like Becky.
Let me brag on both of them.
In [Gb] the Southern Gospel world,
that we do probably 50% of the [A] stuff that we do.
They have been voted for the past two years,
[G] Songwriters of the [E] Year.
That's pretty.
[N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But back to Sonia.
Sonia, step up a little bit so I don't have to turn around.
I'm afraid I'll fall off my pedestal here.
_ If I need it, I'm ready 6'6". _ _
_ Sonia has had a wonderful [A] past two [D] years.
December the 20th of [C] 2009.
_ _ Sonia got [E] married. _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Becky and I have two words to say about that.
Thank God.
_ _ _ _ _ Sonia married a wonderful man from the Nashville, Tennessee area.
His name is Jimmy Erie.
If you're familiar with the group Shannon Doe.
[G] He's sung lead in that position for the past five years.
And he is also an incredible songwriter.
_ You guys are familiar with Rascal Flads, right?
They did a song called [E] Why Wait.
You remember?
It was a huge hit this year.
[G] Her husband wrote that about her.
I see [N] you, John.
Come over here so we don't have too much cord to get to you.
Of course, this is my brother-in-law.
He's doing a fantastic job playing guitar and banjo.
He plays just about anything he touches.
And John traveled with the Isaacs for about 12 years.
But he came off the road, what was it, about five years ago?
To start teaching at the Christian school in their hometown.
And also, they call it the preach.
And he also plays with a group that's been here before.
They don't work nearly as much as we do.
So it allows him to do everything he wants to do.
The boxcars. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Since he came off the road, we've had [Bb] different musicians fill in for him.
And the fellow that was with us now, [Ab] who's been with us for two years, Thomas Weirod.
He had to go to Canada this weekend.
His grandfather passed away unexpectedly.
[Eb] So John's filling in for Thomas this [B] weekend.
And we couldn't ask for a better musician or guy to [B] travel with than our very own.
And I bet [N] he's has the Mr.
John Marvon.
Are you guys ready, John?
Woo!
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am]
Thank you, bro.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
Oh Lord [Ab] my God
_ [D]
When I in _ awe of thee
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Consider _ _ the _ _ _ _ _ _ world's thy _ [D] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [A] hand _
_ _ I [E] see _ the _ storm
And I [G] _
hear [D] _ the rolling _ _ _ _ _ thunder _ _ _
[Db] Like a _ _ _ _ [A]
bluebird
_ [Gb] The _ _ _ _
[Bm] universe _ _ did _ [A]
swoon
_ [Gb] _ There _ seems my _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ Savior _ to _ _ _ _ _ _ be
_ [E]
Oh, _ _ wait thou _
_ _ _ _ Oh, how I _ [D] _ need _ thou
_ [B] _ _ _ _ There _ _ seems my _ _ _ Savior _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [E] to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ be _ _ _
Oh, _ _ wait [B] thou
_ _ _ _ Oh, _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] how _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
I [E] _ need thou
_ [D] God _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
