Chords for Bill Gaither and the Gaither Vocal Band with Sherry Anne!

[E] A great, great story.
_ A young gal who _ [N] _ _ was born without hearing and said,
okay, what am I going to do?
Went to [E] school, went to college [N] and became a chiropractor.
And, but she always loved music.
Now anybody in the music field knows this. _
[Eb] The same you [Ab] have to be able to hear.
And [A] how this young girl does [Gb] this, I do not know.
[Gm] Besides being a great chiropractor, she has a [Eb] fantastic voice.
And how she does it with this kind of a challenge is always tough for me.
And [Bb] Sherry, it's always good to be [E] in your part of the country.
[N] _ We often see you at family fests, [G] the three-day event that we do [Gb] in Gatlinburg.
I like her [E] because she can [Db] read lips.
Yes, but Bill Gaither is a stutterer, so I can't really read his lips too well.
[N] _ _ So the first time [Eb] I saw her, I asked her that.
I said, can you read my lips?
It's a little bit [Abm] difficult with you [N] because you're not stammering. _
Sometimes his whole upper plate just lets go. _ _ _
But Sherry, it's [Gb] always good.
It's [N] always good to be here with you. _
[Eb] I have to tell you a little something about [B] chiropractic, though.
And after what I just saw these guys [G] do, I think some of them are going [D] to need a chiropractor.
[E] _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ [Eb] But Mr.
[E] Bill, you had another video recently [N] that he just released with the Booth Brothers.
Great video, by the way.
[Gb] And [Eb] he was talking about the boom [N]-booms.
You were talking about_
Did you hear me?
I did, [Gb] and I loved them.
They [Db] were terrific.
He's a good booming bass [B] singer.
[Bb] Wonderful.
And there's a groundswell of [G] support for that. _
But I have a bone to pick with you.
What is it?
Because when he was on the video with the [Db] Booth Brothers, he said,
you know, all the different parts of the [B] body, I just have a small part in this song that I'm going to do with the guys.
And it's a small part, but [Bb] all the [Abm] parts work together.
You know, the eye and the ear can't say [N] they don't need each other, and the foot and the hand.
And he did that thing about the knee can't say to the [E] elbow, I have no need of you.
But then he said, when you put the knee [B] with the elbow and the [Eb] arm, it all works together.
Mr.
Bill, you don't put [N] the knee with the elbow and the arm, [E] but you're really going to need a chiropractor.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] It's good to have you, [B] Sherry.
Thank you.
And I'll sit down over [Bb] here [G] and collect my thoughts.
Thank you.
And you know, I have to tell you, being a chiropractor is a better evangelist than [Eb] singing in church,
because you get somebody's neck in your [N] hands, and you say, do you believe in Jesus?
Because you might need him in just a few minutes.
_ _ So I have a 100% conversion rate.
A lot _ _ _
[B] of my conversion [Fm] involved Mr.
Bill [D] Gaither and the Gaither [N] Vocal Band.
I have to tell you, it was not detected that I was hearing impaired until I was five years of age and failing out of kindergarten.
[Ebm] With the home that I came from, a troubled home, they thought, a divorced home,
they thought that I was a [N] problem child rather than a child with a problem.
There's a big difference.
So when they gave me my hearing aids, I began to achieve.
But I was so used to feeling less than everybody else and like I never measured up, that I began to overachieve.
_ [Db] And that led to trophies and tiaras and [E] sashes and scholarships.
[N] And it led to what you might call a nervous breakdown, because it was never enough.
I needed one more, one more, one more.
What I call a perfection overdose.
And I got to a point where I wanted [Eb] to throw the towel in.
[G] And I asked God why I shouldn't.
And I heard the words, I gave my life for you so you could [Cm] live your life for [N] me.
_ Thank you.
Amen.
That was a turning point in my life, my friend.
Because it isn't about what we've done.
It's all about what He's done for us.
None [Gb] of us measure up, none of us are perfect, but there's [N] one who is and He loves you anyways.
Amen. _
_ Amen.
_ _ God's _ _ _ ears are not deaf like mine.
He [Em] always hears your cry, He [N] hears your prayer.
And when I went to record this song, I selected Gordon Moat as my producer.
You may remember Gordon Moat is a piano player earlier on for the Gaither Vocal Band.
And he and I recorded this song, Silent Prayer, he produced it.
He's completely blind and I am partially deaf.
And we had so much fun in the studio, I said, Gordon, we should go on tour together.
And he said, that sounds great, Sherryann, what should we call it?
I said, how about Hear No Evil, See No Evil. _
_ _ _ _ _ But God hears [Ab] it all.
And He especially hears [N] your silent prayers.
This song and all the songs that I sing have been so [Eb] inspired by the legacy of this music.
It's called Silent [C] Prayer. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ He's [G] never known the sound [Am] of Jesus' name.
_ [Fm] _ Born [C] into a world of _ [G] silence.
_ _ [C] _
Still He [G] came to trust [Am] Him just the same.
_ _ [Bb] _ [F] Signing when He prays [Cm] for guidance.
_ [G] _ _ [Em] _ Though He cannot [F] speak a word.
_ _ [Dm] _
He always _ [G] knows that He is heard. _
_ [C] _ For [G] God hears your [C] sound.
When a [F] leaf [C] falls to the ground.
Or a cry of [G] despair.
_ _ [C] _
No [G] pain [Am] or sorrow.
[C] He hears it all.
[G] Even in the [C]
silent prayer. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ She [G] never had to spend [Am] her life alone.
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C]
Sixty years [G] [A] together.
[G] _ _ _ [C] _
Until the [G] day God [Am] called him home.
_ _ [Bb] She [F] thought that he would [C] live [G] forever.
_ _ [Em] _ In grief she could not [F] stand the word.
_ _ _ [Dm]
But through her tears [Cm] she knows He heard.
[G] _
_ [C] _ For [G] God hears your [Am] sound.
When a [F] leaf [C] falls to the ground.
Or _ _ a cry [G] of despair.
_ _ [C] _
No [G] pain [Am] or sorrow.
[F] He hears [C] it all.
[G] Even in the [C] silent prayer.
_ _ [Am] _ When time comes too [Em] much.
And words are not enough.
[Bb]
Just [F] know He listens.
[C] And He _ [G] cares.
_ [C] _ I [G] thank you for letting the [Am] healing of your [F] girl be healed.
_ [C] And I thank you for letting me sing your praise.
For your glory.
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ For God [G]
hears [Am] your sound.
When a [C] leaf falls to the ground.
Or a cry of despair.
[G] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] No pain or [Am] sorrow.
He [C] hears it all.
[G] Even in the [C] silent prayer. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Even in the _ silent _ prayer. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
Here he is.
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [C] Why are we [F] moving?
_ [N] _
