His Way
D G D
I was cleaning scrub-pine from plot number one,
A
Working steady since very early morning sun
D G D
Using the Vermeer tree spade with the front-end blade
A D
And feeling pleased with the progress I had made
G D
Pushing the pine-brush into really high piles
A
Keeping the soil level and smoothe, all the while
D G D
Earlier that day, I had started the fire
A D
Not knowing that things were about to be dire
G D
The fuel-line at the gas tank, had sprung a leak
A
I would have never had known it, without the peek
D G D
Cause another push toward the roaring flames
A D
Would have brought me to the end of my game
G D
Now, they say the Higher Power, He sees it all
A
And I know He was watching me, late last Fall
D G D
He made me aware and directed my gaze
A D
And kept me safe in spite of my reckless ways
G D
Now I know there are days, that I can say
A
I want to do things, and do them my way
D G D
But then, I need to remember how it really is,
A D
Its not my way that counts, but His
