The Promise Of God And The Father's Way(Chords)

	        

Verse 1:

D  A 
Hey Father, I was taught by my earthly father 
D 
For a long time, he showed me the way to follow 
A 
But hey Father, something was left behind 
D 
In the past, I knew exactly what to believe 

A 
Hey Father, I'm grateful for what he taught me 
D 
And because of that 

I left the land of giants and returned to believe 
A 
But now, out there, the whole world is an island 
D 
Miles and miles away from anywhere 

Verse 2:

D  A 
Hey Father, I don't stress about it anymore 
D 
For a long time, that was all I could do 
A 
But hey Father, no matter how much we grow 
D 
There's always something we can't quite understand 

A 
That's why, Father, just wake me when the sun has set 
D 
I want to see Your face and Your glory at nightfall 
A 
Because now, out there, everyone is an island 
D 
Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away 



D 
In this land of giants 
A 
The world where I fell and sinned for being disobedient 
D 
Youth is a soul 
A 
Seeking Your truth among the giants 

D 
In this land of giants 
A 
The world where I fell and sinned for being disobedient 
D 
Youth is a soul 
A 
Seeking Your truth among the giants
 

Bridge:

D 
While the world talks about numbers and statistics 

Micro...minimal...calories 
A 
Kilowatts...terabytes 

Audience ratings...tractioning on all four wheels 
D 
Me? What do I do with all of this? 

Me? What do I do with all of this? 

Verse 3:

D 
In seminary, wrestling with Jewish calendars 

Forty days, so much history and meaning 
A 
After Christ, in the current calendar 

I have doubts, but he teaches me 
D 
My father was always a scholar, always by my side 

D 
He taught me to believe in the Bible since I was a child 

Even without understanding, I yielded to the desires of the flesh 
A 
I was blind to all his teachings, we lost intimacy 

But I know there's still so much to learn  

In terms of faith and spiritual works 

D 
Father, I want you to see me as a pastor before you depart 

I want to live to fulfill this dream 
A 
So that you see God's promise fulfilled in me
