Isaiah 40 verses 27-31

Going back in time, and recording songs written by my father has been refreshing for me, and now we are going back again to some songs written by my Father ... in Heaven. We are going back about 3 -- thousand years.

There is something exciting about songs that come directly from the Bible. That's why I chose this song. Learning this is easier than memorizing scripture. And it makes me jealous of all those folks who can sing the psalms in Hebrew. The trace of power that comes through in the English translation of this song is awesome. It is unmistakable evidence of God's provision for us. Try writing something, and see if it is still this vibrant and alive after a thousand years ... enjoy.

Here are the Lyrics:

Isaiah 40 verses 27-31

[Chorus]
G         D                   C
Do you not know?  Have you not heard?
              D           G
The Lord is the everlasting God,
          D                  C
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
       D                G
He will not grow tired or weary,
D               C
... and His understanding ...
  D                  G
... no one can fathom.   ... He gives
              D           C
strength to the weary and increases
  D            G
the power of the weak.
  D            C          D
 ...          ...        ...

[Verse 1]
Em                       D
Why do you say, O Jacob,
D                  Em
and complain, O Israel,
Em                       D
"My way is hidden from the Lord;
Em                       D
( Why do you say, O Jacob,
D                    Em
and complain, O Israel, )
Em                       D
my cause is disregarded by my God"?

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
  Em                     D
Even youths grow tired and weary,
  Em                    D
and young men stumble and fall;
  Em                     D
Even youths grow tired and weary,
  Em                    D
and young men stumble and fall;

[Bridge]
   G        D           C
but those who hope in the Lord
     D                  G
will renew their strength.
         D      C
They will soar on wings
   D                    G
like eagles;             ...
        D       C
they will run and not
D                        G
(not) grow weary,
         D              C      D
they will walk and not be faint.

[Chorus]

Note: I recorded this song in the key of C, but the chords above are in G. If I hired a real singer it would be better, but in the mean time ... wow, this is fun. All verses taken verbatim from the New International Version (NIV).

UPDATE: Here are some more lyrics and chords I've been using. Hope that helps.
