Chords for Ben Speer sings Chuck Millhuff's The Brush.mov

[D] _ _ I wrote a poem not long ago, _ I guess it's several years now.
_ Time flies when you're old.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ And Ben has recorded it numerous times.
_ _ _ It's called The Brush, [Bm] _
and [E] it's the story of my [Am] life. _
And listen, if [C] there's anyone here this morning
_ [B] that has not experienced [F] the life [E]-changing,
_ _ [A] transforming power [Bm] of the blood of Jesus Christ,
you're not [Am] too old. _ _
As Ben [Em] sings it, _ [A] let God [E] speak to you.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ Life _ _ _ _ [Bm] started out _ _ like _ a canvas _ _ _
And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] God _ _ started painting _ _ on [A] _ me _
_ But _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ I took [A] the paintbrush _ _ [D] from Jesus
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ And [A] painted _ _
[E] [F#m] what _ [Bm] I [E] wished _ to [A] see
_ _ [F#m] And [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
[A] the colors _ _ [E] _ [B] I painted _ _ kept [E] _ _
running
_ And _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [Bm] the _ _ _ objects were [E] all _ _ _ [A] out of size _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ I [Em] had made a great big [A] mess _
_ _ _ Of my painting, [D] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [A] my way _
_ _ [Bm] Thou seemed [E] _ _
_ so _ [A] _ _ unwise
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
[C#m] But [B] then I brought _ _ _ _ [C#] my painting _ to _ [F#] _ Jesus
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ All [C#m] _ the colors _ and all [F#] the [B] pieces _ _ So _ wrong _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
[F#m] In the markets _ _ _ _ [B] of earth
[A] _ _ [B] _ [E] It was worthless
_ _ [B] _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ But [B] his blood _ _ made [C#m] my painting [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [B] belong _
_ _ [G] _ _ And _ [Dm] _
[C] he worked _ _ _ [F]
[D] with no _ _ _ [G] _
condemnation
_ _ And _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ he never even mentioned _ _ [G] the big mess _ I [C] had made _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [E] _ Then [Gm] he dipped _ _ _ his [E]
brush [Gm] _ _ [C] in _ [Am] a rainbow
[F] _ _ And [A#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] signed it _
The _ [G] _ price _ _ _ has been [C] _ paid _
_ When _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ I _ _
[A#] gave [A] the brush _ _ _ _ back to [Dm] Jesus _
When _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] I _ gave the brush _ back _ [C] to him
_ He _ _
[F] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
started _ _ _ [E] all over [A#] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [F] life's canvas _ [Em] to _ [Dm] fill _
When _ _ [G] _ I _ _
[F] gave to _ _ Jesus [G] _
_ the [F] _ brush _ _ _ of [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ my will
[C] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ Thank you, Ben.
