INTRO: Am F C G
Verse ONE:
Am F C G
I was driving home one day, just me and myself
Am F C G
I got to thinking and thought I need to figure out
Am F C G
What I'm gonna do when I'm grown, I gave the Lord a shout,
Am F C G
He sat next to me, said "son, I'll help you out." (And he said.)
CHORUS:
Am F C G
Here's an old guitar, a pen and a book,
Am F C G
It don't seem like much but trust me take a look.
Am F C G
You'll become great one day, singing for me.
Am F C G
All you have to do is trust in me
Verse TWO:
Am F C G
I said: “Lord, thank you for blessing me,
Am F C G
I know you’ll keep me good company,
Am F C G
It won’t be easy but I’ll do it for you.
Am F C G
To help others learn that you are true.
CHORUS
Verse THREE:
Am F C G
I got home that day, tools in hand
Am F C G
But I felt that I was outgunned and outmanned.
Am F C G
I picked up that old guitar, it’s rusty old strings;
Am F C G
Played it for a little while, thought: Oh, man it rings.
Am F C G
Man, he was right, it don’t seem like much.
Am F C G
He must’ve given it his glorious touch, (When he said,)
