[N] I'm going to tell you the devil works, but it's really different 25 years [A] ago.
And tonight we're here to [E] celebrate 25 years of great music and the amazing career [F#m] of my good friend Michael W.
Smith.
[B]
[A] [E] [B] You know the funny thing [D] about a career is that you never know on the front end that it is a career.
You're just out there trying and trying.
For [C] Michael it all began when Sandy Patty recorded his song, [D] How Majestic is Thy [G] Name.
[D] Lucky for me, [G] about the same time, you were an out of work [Am] piano player.
I promised you a tiny bit of cash and a deli tray every night [D]
when [F#] we went on the road.
During that time we wrote a lot of [Em] songs and I thought we [D] might sort of walk down musical lane [G] together.
[D] Well that wasn't one of the songs we wrote.

Michael was one of the first artists who quoted long excerpts of scripture from stage.
I don't know how many of you were in the crowd when he quoted Psalm 139.
It changed my understanding of that psalm.
So when he came to me and said, let's put this part of Psalm [B] 119 to [E] music, I said, let's go for it.
[F#]
[B] [E] Thy Word [B] is a lamp unto [E] my feet and [A] a light [B]
unto [E] my soul.
Thy Word [B] is a lamp unto [E] my
[B] [A] feet [B] and a light unto [E] my soul.
[B] And when I feel [F#m]
afraid, [C#m] think I've lost [G#m] my way, [A] still [B] you're there [A] right beside [E] me.
[B] And nothing [C#] will [F#m] I, [C#m] as long as you [G#m] are near, [A] please [B] be near [F#] me [C#] to the end.
[G#] [B] Oh, [E] thy [B] Word is a lamp unto [E] my feet [A] and a light [B] unto [E] my path.
Oh, thy Word [B] is a lamp unto [E] my feet [B] and [A] a light [B] unto [E] my path.
