INTRO:
C G C
VERSE:
C Dm
I set the bound’ries of the ocean vast,
G C
Carved out the mountains from the distant past,
C Dm
Moulded a man from the miry clay,
G C
Breathed in him life, but he went astray.
CHORUS:
C Dm
I own the cattle on a thousand hills,
G C
I write the music for the whippoorwills,
A Dm
Control the planets with their rocks and rills,
G C
But give you freedom to use your own will.
VERSE:
C Dm
I hold the waters in My mighty hand
G C
Spread out the heavens with a single span,
C Dm
Make all creation tremble at My voice,
G C
But My own friends come to Me by choice.
CHORUS:
C Dm
I own the cattle on a thousand hills,
G C
I write the music for the whippoorwills,
A Dm
Control the planets with their rocks and rills,
G C
But give you freedom to use your own will.
INSTRUMENTAL:
C Dm G C
C Dm G C
C Dm G C
A Dm G C
VERSE:
C Dm
Even the oxen knows the Master’s stall,
G C
And sheep will recognize the shepherd’s call
C Dm
I could demand your love – I own you twice,
G C
But only willing love is worth the price!
VERSE:
C Dm
And if you want Me to, I’ll make you whole,
G C
I’ll only do it tho’ if you say so.
A Dm
I’ll never force you, for I love you so,
G C
I give you freedom – Is it “yes” or “no”?
Dm Em G C
I give you freedom – Is it “yes” or “no”?
