Song Description

Someone challenged me to write a religious song, so I did! Now available in a church near you!

Lyrics

Footprints:
Play A, D sequence, then Dflat to D sequence at the 1st position.
Then play the barred version

A D
Looking out of my window
A D
I See a storm cloud coming
A D
A storm cloud coming
C Em A
For to rain on me.

A D
But deep inside my heart
A D
There's a light that's shining
A D
A Light thats shining

C Em A
From Jesus in my life

Dflat to D sequence at the 1st position.
Then play the barred version

A D
Looking out of my window
A D
I see a darkness coming
A D
A darkness coming
C Em A
For to test my Love

A D
But God does not leave
A D
A soul stumbling
A D
A poor soul Stumbling
C Em A
He Carries me home.

Dflat to D sequence at the 1st position.
Then play the barred version
The original sequence, followed by barred version.
A D
Looking out of my window
A D
I see a darkness coming
A D
A darkness coming
C Em A
For to test my Love

A D
But God does not leave
A D
A soul stumbling
A D
A poor soul Stumbling
C Em A
He Carries me home.

(What does he do?)
C Em A
He Carries me home
C Em A
He Carries me home


This song is my one and only attempt at a religious song. The religious aspect could be veiled by removing 'Jesus' and replacing with 'you' and replacing 'God' with 'She/he'
I am personally more spiritual - that is not to say that at a couple of difficult points in my life I have sought solace in some kind of belief or presence.

This song is played at a fast pace - but I have recently been trying it as a slow ballad and it kind of works.
When I sing this song (ehem!) I usually sing 'Coming' as 'Cumin', 'Stumbling' as 'Stumblin'
Intro A D C Em A and D flat slide to D hammer on G, then A E A many times until you're ready to start - this is also played in a more noisy kind of way (a kind of celebratory way - in the middle of the song or between verses to lengthen the song, the bad English is deliberate)
