Hide Lyrics Hint
[N] You remember [C] the first song you ever wrote?
I don't.
What was the [F#] first song?
The blood that [B] Jesus shed [F#] for me
_ [A#] Waited back [D#m]
on Calvary
_ The [G#] blood that gives me strength
[D#m] From day to [D#] day
_ [B]
Will [C#] never lose its power
[F#] _
_ [G#m] For it reaches _ to the [F#] highest mountain
_ And [Fm] it _ flows [A#m] to the [D#m] lowest valley _
[F#] The _ [B] _ _ blood that gives me [F#m] strength
_ [F#] _ From day to day
_ [G#m] Will never ever lose [F#] _ its power
[B] [F#] Now _ when I wrote that, [B] I was at [F#] a friend's house
[D#] And they were [B] having a [Fm] picnic in the backyard
[A] And there were [D] these audience that [G#] were there with song letters
[B] But I was too afraid to go in the backyard
And I was too shy
And [E] Sandra was with me, my twin
[A] And I'm very awesome by the [G#m] way
[A] _ _ Sandra was with me [D] and God named Billy Preston
And I said, boy [E] I wish I could write a song
And I asked God, right then I was 14 years [B] old
And I said, [A] I wish [B] God you [C] would give me a song
_ [E] And four minutes later [C#m] I went to the piano
The people didn't even know that we [D] had arrived
I started playing this song, that song I just [A] played
And I was talking about the blood of Jesus
And I had the idea
[D] _ The reason why I talked about the blood of Jesus
Because they were putting these ribs [F] in some [D] barbecue sauce
_ You're 14 years old Yeah, 14
And this is the first song you've ever [E] written First song
[G#] And you come up with this within how much time?
[D] Five minutes
Give me a little sample
[G] Five minutes you sit down and how does [C#] it
[G#] How did the experience [F#] begin? _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _
Had you heard those chords before?
_ _ [G] No, [C] no it's just
I just [G] sort of planned [F#] it
Alright, go ahead
[A#] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ Way [F#] back on Calvary
[B] The blood [F#] gives me strength _
From [D#] day to day
_ [B] It never [G#] _ goes [F#] It's love
And I talked about the blood of Jesus
And then I saw Jesus from a hill being whipped _ By soldiers
[G] And so that gave me the mountain like
So I [C#] said
It reaches to [G#m] the highest [F#] mountain _
_ _ _ [G#] And it flows [B] to the lowest [F#] valley
_ _ _ [B] The blood that [G#] gives me strength
[F#] _ From [D#] day to day
It [B] will never [G#] _
lose [F#] _ It's power
A friend of mine
_ _ Was just in Germany [F#m] the other day
And he called me and said
Andre, [G] I was just at a service at some [D] cathedral in Germany
And he said I saw about three or four of [F] your songs
[D] In the hymn books
So it's [C] been recorded probably
_ _ [D] _ [C] By other artists
[F]
At least three thousand times at least _ _
And um
You better go find that fourteen year old boy
And have him write some more songs for you
