Chords for "I KNOW HE HEARD MY PRAYER" - The Ellis Brothers

All four of these men that you see standing here on the stage with me used to live in Cleveland, Tennessee
and
_ They got into all sorts of things when they live in Cleveland, Tennessee
_ _ But they have a dad that we all love very very much one of the two principal people who worked on this hymnal
Vep Ellis and Otis McCoy
Vep Ellis in the 50s late 40s 50s and 60s was perhaps the
best known [Bb] gospel songwriter in the United States of [B] America wrote some powerful songs and
all of his boys grew up to be singers and
Also grew up to love the Lord and to be Christians.
They're all in ministry two pastors now
one [N] a professional singer and a gentleman who is a praise leader writes praise songs
And also sings in the church choir.
I know that your dad Vep guys is looking down tonight
And boy, is he happy that you guys are here and is he happy that they turned out like they did
I'm surprised myself how good you guys look
here tonight
And it's a just a treat and a pleasure for me to give to you the four sons
Who turned out to be four really fine musicians the Ellis Brothers Quartet _ _ _ _
