Chords for Celebrating 100 Years of Southern Gospel Music

_ In 1910, the first professional Southern Gospel Quartet was formed.
Early quartets were originally all male, but over time, full bands were added and yes,
even women.
Southern Gospel came to be known as a mix of black gospel-influenced songs, traditional
hymns, country gospel, and bluegrass.
The influence of early groups is still felt today, and it is this remarkable heritage
that has paved the way for most all of us here.
To these artists, we pay tribute tonight.
This is going to be awesome.
Celebrating 100 years of Southern Gospel music, please welcome the Blackwood Brothers. _

I _ [E] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Am] _ [G] _ [Gb] _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ walked by [A] the [E] tomb of Buddha.
_ I looked inside [Gbm] and [E] saw his bones.
[A]
[E] Traveled on to see _ Muhammad.
Still wrapped up [Gbm] in [E] his grave clothes.
[Abm] Then I [B] journeyed [A] to a garden _ [E] where old Joseph left [B] him lay.
[Dbm] The [B] precious lamb, [Dbm] [E] God's [A]
own begotten.
He [E] was no longer [E] in that grave.
If [B] you knew him, [A] I [E] can't know him.
You [B] wouldn't know that [A] [E] he's alive.
_ [Dbm] If you felt [E] him, like [A] I feel him.
_ [E] _ _
Resurrection, [Dbm] deep [E] inside.
[A] You'd know [E] he's living [B] and [E] death has arrived.
[Am] _
_ _ [B] Death [E] has arrived. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Bb]
[Eb] So many [Bb] times I've [Eb] questioned [Cm] certain [Eb] circumstances [Ab] and things I [Eb] could not [Fm] understand. _ _
[Bb] Many times in [Fm] trials, [Bb] weakness [C] blurs my vision.
[Fm] Then my [Bb] frustration gets so [Eb] out of hand.
Oh, it's then I [Bb] am reminded [Cm] I've never been [Eb] forsaken.
I've never had to stand one [Ab] day alone. _
[Bb] That's when I look out over the big [Fm] trees.
And [Bb] I'm reminded all God's done for me.
[Ab] It's through the fire, [Bb] my weakness, [Eb] it makes true [Ab] all.
[Bb] _
[Eb] He never promised that the cross would not get heavy.
[Ab] And the hill would not [Eb] be hard [Ab] to climb. _
[Bb] And he never offered our victories without fighting.
But he [Ab] said help would [Bb] always come in [Eb] time.
_ [Cm] _ [Bb]
[Eb] Just remember when you're [Ab] standing [Eb] in the valley of decision.
[Ab] And the adversary [Eb] stands [Fm] near them. _
[Bb] Just hold on.
[Eb] Our Lord [Bb] will show that right old time.
He [Ab] will take you through [Bb] the fire [Abm] again.

[B] _ _ _ _ [Gb] And [B] I'm still feeling fine after all this [Gb] time.
I'm feeling mighty fine today.
Every day I climb just a little bit [B] higher.
Walking up the King's Highway.
I still want to go with milk and honey flow.
And I'm [E] not going to change my mind.
[Gb] Happy on the journey and I'm still feeling [B] mighty fine.
_ [E] I'm feeling fine after all this [B] time.

Happy on the journey and I'm [E] still feeling mighty [A] fine.
