The Love of GodVERSE

The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell

It goes beyond the highest star and reaches to the lowest hell

The guilty pair, bowed down with care God gave His Son to win

His erring child He reconciled and pardoned from his sin

VERSE 2

Were every stalk on earth a quill and every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above would drain the oceans dry

Nor could the scroll contain the whole though stretched from sky to sky

O love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure the saints’ and angels’ song

Trailing tab at end of song (repeat ad lib)

seeking the lost—yes, kindly entreating

wanders on the mountain astray;

“come unto Me,” His message repeating,

words of the Master speaking todayCHORUS

going afar upon the mountain,

going afar—afar upon the mountain,

bringing the wand’rer back again,

bringing the wand’rer—the wand’rer back again

Jesus the Lamb—the Lamb for sinners slain.

Him would i follow day unto day,

care for the dying, raise up the fallen,

pointing the lost to Jesus, the Way.CHORUS

sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve

waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,

we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves

bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,

I know your pain, I hurt the times I saw you cry

acting as though I couldn’t love you

We are the ReasonVERSE

as little children we would dream of Christmas morn

but never realized a baby born one blessed night

gave us the greatest gift of our livesCHORUS

we are the reason that He gave His life

we are the reason that He suffered and died

to a world that was lost, He gave all He could give

to show us the reason to liveVERSE

giving of ourselves and what that means

on a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain

because of love, because of loveCHORUS

THIS IS A TOUGH SONG TO PLAY NO MATTER WHAT KEY YOU CHOOSE. I CHOSE E TO START AS IT ENDS UP BEING THE BEST FOR GUITAR PLAYERS. NOTE THAT AVALON USES 2 MORE KEY CHANGES (THEY BEGIN ON VS 2 SWITCH LEAD FROM MALE TO FEMALE). DAVID PHELPS DOES A PIANO IN-TERLUDE BETWEEN BRIDGE AND FINAL CHORUS WITH A FULL STEP KEY CHANGE (NOT LIKE THE 1/2 STEP I HAVE HERE). BOTH AVALON AND PHELPS START IN THE KEY OF C. I PLAY THIS KEY ON A DROP TUNED GUITAR (KEYED: D).

A note about Key Changes

You will notice that on each page there are two boxes in the upper right hand corner. These are suggestions for easier keys to play the song in. Sometimes i left it blank so you can put in your own suggested key changes. Why would you want to change the key? To make it easier to play, of course! To convert a song to a different key is a relatively simple task. You start with what-

a better way to say it myself. So, we are going to use “Build Your Kingdom Here” (pg #98). First of all, “Build Your Kingdom Here” is keyed in B (notice the resolution chord at the end of the verse?). The key of A might be easier to play when you consider the F# you will face throughout most of the song. So, here’s how it works. Look at the piano chart below. Notice the B key? Good. Find the A key. Got it? Good. Isn’t this fun? Anyway, you’ll notice that the A key and the B key are 1 full step (or 2 half steps if you wish) away from each other. You simply move each of the other chords down 2 half steps as well. Look at the song again, then come back here. Back already? Ready for the next step? Ok. You just moved all the chords DOWN 1 full steps (2 half steps) so that if you play the song now it will be LOWER when sung. To compensate for this (in other words, so that when you play in the new key you will still be singing the old pitch) you need to put the CAPO UP, yes UP, 2 frets. Why, you ask? i’m glad you asked. Each fret on a guitar is one-half step. So by dropping the key 2 half-steps DOWN, but putting the CAPO UP 2 half-steps (2 frets) notewise we are back where we started. Why move it then? To make it easier to play, of course. Silly question. So, when you transpose (change the key) and then capo it the song will sound the same if you play it as when someone else is playing along with the chords already written on the page. To give you something concrete to help the process let’s change the chords for “Build Your Kingdom Here.” So the chords become:
