Chords for Casting Crowns - Only Jesus (Mark Hall Teaching Video)

_ I've been listening to Christian music since [D] probably about college.
That's when I discovered it and there were Christian artists that really built me.
They built my faith.
Being [F#m] dyslexic and ADD, I didn't really read the Bible much for myself, so when I would
hear somebody like Stephen [Bm] Curtis Chapman singing about his grace being [D] sufficient for
us or that he's going to finish what he [Bm] started in me, that made me want to go [G] find the verses
and [D] figure out where it came from so I could know more about Jesus.
Christian music connected me with God and connected me to his word.
If I ever got in [F#m] the room where I had the chance to meet somebody like that, it ain't
going to happen.
[G] I would never know what to say.
I'd see one of those guys across the room and I'd be like, I'm not [D] walking up, I'm not walking up.
I'd just sort of stay back.
It's really funny now that I am singing and traveling.
People are coming to meet me and want to introduce themselves.
[F#m] I always love the ones that are a little nervous because that's the kind of guy that I am.
[G] I was in Walmart and a guy walked up to me and he seriously said, dude, I just want you
to know I'm your favorite band.
And I thought, I like this guy.
And I said, well, thanks man.
And he goes, dude, one of [F#m] your songs, man, it just, it really changed my life.
I was driving, I was on 75 and I [G] was going to work and I knew I wasn't where I was supposed
[D] to be and your song came on, dude, I just had to pull off at an exit.
I just had, I got some things right and I've really been walking with God.
And he said, that song, it was, oh, and he was trying to think [F#m] of the name of the song.
And I thought, well, I'll help you.
I said, well, what was it [G] about?
And he's like, well, it was about God, his love.
And I was like, okay.
I was like, who am I?
And he goes, no, no, no.
I was like, oh, okay.
And he said, he said like the wind and the waves.
[F#m] I said, oh, like crazy in the storm.
He's like, no, [A] no, no, no.
I was like, okay, [G] I'm not helping you anymore.
I'm just gonna let you do this. Right.
So he started going through and [D] trying to figure it out.
He never could figure out the name of the song.
And he gets to the end of this little conversation.
He says, man, I just, I can't remember.
All I know [F#m] is that it was there when I needed it and I'm closer to Jesus for it.
I just want [D] to thank you for that.
And he left [G] and I'm walking through the aisles of Walmart trying to think, you still with,
you know, what song could it have been?
And the cool thing about that little moment for me is that it reminds me that [D] I know my
place in [Bm] this.
I know why I'm writing these [G] songs.
I know why I'm traveling from [D] city to city, because [E] when you give me four minutes of your
[Bm] life and I get to talk to you, the [G] last thing I want you to know about is [D] me.
You need to know about Jesus because I'm going [F#m] home and I'm not [Bm] going to be here later.
And the people [G] that always spoke the most to me [D] were never the people that had it all together.
They were [F#m] the broken people.
[Bm] So my goal in a concert is I [G] get to run a few laps with [D] you on your race.
I get to [F#m] be a little part of your story.
And if I only get an [D] hour with you or two hours or four minutes, _ what else would I point
to than something that will never leave? _
People in the Bible, they never set out [G] to be heroes.
No one got up thinking, I want to be a hero.
They got up thinking, [D] I love God so much, I'll do whatever he says.
And then anytime a chance came to step, they stepped.
And then when people would come their way to give them praise, [F#m] they'd say, Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, you got the wrong guy.
If you're seeing [G] me right now, you're seeing the wrong thing.
If you ever noticed that [D] Paul and almost every letter he wrote would always say something
like, you do remember that I was the scum [G] of the earth, right?
You do remember that I'm a train wreck, right?
Please keep your eyes on what [Bm] matters because people [G] fall.
God doesn't fall, right?
[D]
The [F#m] question I want to ask with the song Only Jesus is [C#] the people that you work with, the
people that [G] you go to school with, the people that you [D] spend your time with, are they really
all in your [Bm] life just to know you?
_ _ Or has [D] God planted you there [F#m] on purpose to make him known [D] through your story?
I'm a singer, somebody is a farmer, somebody is a nurse, but that's not why we're here.
We're here to make God known through being a farmer or a singer or [G] a nurse.
Your story, your scars, that's how we point [D] people to only Jesus. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ I don't care if [G] they remember me, _ _ [D] only
