Raging sea

It's one of those crazy, yet amaaaaazing things when God just grabs you when you're listening and inspires you to write something. In this case it was a song of all things! Even more amazing is that 4 days later (ie this evening!) this song now has chords.

Well, enough of my jibber-jabber, here's the song; the lyrics of which I wrote during the closing worship of last Thursday's CU main meeting, and the music I've written this evening.

Thanks God :)

'Raging sea'

v1
D Em7
Lord I know that I am wandering
D/F# Gmaj7
I cannot see the way to go
D Em7
This path I made has got me nowhere
D/F# Gmaj7 Asus4->A
And where I need is to be home

Ch
Em7 D/F# G
When the storm around is raging
Em7 Bm7 Asus4
And the waves grow high on every side
Em7 D/F# G
Lift up your hands to me my child
Gmaj7 Asus4 D
And trust in me to be your guide

v2
D Em7
I find it hard to follow you
D/F# Gmaj7
I worry where it is I’m led
D Em7
These paths I see are strange to me
D/F# Gmaj7 Asus4->A
And I don’t know what lies ahead

Chorus

V3
D Em7
Lord I’m weak when I grow weary,
D/F# Gmaj7
And have not strength to walk your way
D Em7
I see you beckon me to follow you
D/F# Gmaj7 Asus4->A
But yet I struggle to obey

Chorus

Bridge
Bb Eb C
For though you find your feet are sinking
Bb Eb C
Reach out your hand and take my side
Bb Eb C
Take my lead and you shall notice
Bb Eb G
You stand above the rising tide

Chorus
