[Intro]
Dm Am C G Dm Am Ab G
[Verse]
Dm Am
Mother Knelt beside her bed and prayed so earnestly
C G
That she would somehow, raise a righteous family
Dm Am
He heard not a word, as he stood at the bedroom door
Ab G
But the tears that rolled down mommy’s face spoke more
Eb Ab
He turned and ran that instant, to the rose bush in the back
Bb Cm
He clipped the one, that last spring, he had helped his momma plant
Ab Eb Bb Cm
Then he slowly walked inside, and carefully knelt beside
Bb Ab Eb F
With rose in hand he whispered, “mommy, I love you!”
[Chorus]
Bb F
I’ll go before your face, I’ll be on your right side
Gm Eb
I’ll comfort you, through my peace, and promise not to hide
Ab Eb Bb Cm
Examples will inspire, great leaders will defend
Gm Ab Eb
But when the road gets too rough, mine angels I will send
Eb Ab Bb
To hold you close, to comfort all your needs
Eb Ab Bb Gm
To be there by your side, when you climb up off your knees
Ab Eb Bb Cm
I’ll do all that I can, to help you make it through
Gm Ab Eb
And when life’s journey gets too rough, I’ll send angels to you
[Verse]
Dm Am
Husband held his wife, as doctor held their son
C G
All the family stood around, the time had finally come
Dm Am
The surgery would take all night, but seem like so much more
Ab G
They waited in a nearby room, knelt down upon the floor
Eb Ab
Together hand in hand, they joined in humble prayer
Bb Cm
Seeking comfort from above, like couples everywhere
Ab Eb Bb Cm
But this night was for real, his peace she longed to feel
Bb Ab Eb F
Then quietly her husband, whispered these few words…
[Chorus]
Bb F
He will go before his face, He’ll be on his right hand
Gm Eb
And, I will always comfort you, I’ll make sure that you stand
Ab Eb Bb Cm
Examples will inspire, great leaders will defend
Gm Ab Eb F
But when the road gets too rough, his angels he will send
[Chorus]
Bb F
He will go before his face, He’ll be on his right hand
Gm Eb
And, I will always comfort you, I’ll make sure that you stand
Ab Eb Bb Cm
Examples will inspire, great leaders will defend
Gm Ab Eb
But when the road gets too rough, his angels he will send
N.C.
He will always comfort me, with every cry and every prayer...
N.C.
He has shown me that he cares, he fills me with his love...
N.C.
And now I know that he loves me
