_ _ _ _ _ _ to the [F#] down have all the good music.
_ Probably will.
[G]
I want [Em] you to know it's true. _
[C] _ _ _ [B] The uh_ _
[D] Gotta keep your [C] eye on the [F] ball. _ _
_ _ One of the freedoms of making independent music
is that you feel just unencumbered a little bit
from this big machine.
When you record for a major label,
you know, there [Dm] are a lot of cooks in the kitchen
[A#] about what you write and what [F] you record
and how everything looks and sounds.
But [Dm] one of the things that I've loved
[A#] about this period of [F] my life
is that I think much less about music [Dm] as a [A#] commodity.
And I [F] see it more as a companion
to the things that I care about in my [Dm] life. _
_ [A#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ How long have you been married? _ _ _
_ _ [F#] I've been married long [F#m] enough that we [A]
regularly get
[E] into these kind of strange arguments about how long [F#] we've been married. _ _
[A] Yeah, [B] Josh was born and then 2 years later,
our [E] son Justin was born.
The boys grew up at the end of the 80s,
kind of through the heyday of me in the distance.
You know, adoption was something that I can honestly say
was never on our radar.
_ [F#] Something kind of started percolating [A] in my wife's heart.
I'm not [E] proud to tell you that the very first thought
that [A] went through my mind, she said,
Jeff, I'd like you to think and pray [B] about maybe we should adopt.
I [E] have to figure out how to stop this.
But I went from not wanting to do it
to we were supposed to do this.
And we adopted Anna Grace, and then 2 years later,
we adopted Ashley Rose.
I kind of felt like it was just something I was going to do
to help somebody.
[Fm] I just didn't expect it to [G#] help me so much. _
[F] _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ You can [C#] have my [G#] heart
_ [Fm] _ _
[C#] All the love [Fm] I have [C#] is here
_ [G#] My dad had grown up in rural poverty,
[F#] and I think one of the gifts he wanted to give his kids
is that we'd be protected from poverty.
As a result, I had very little contact with poverty.
_ _ _ _ That trip to Haiti [C#] was just, [F#] it tore me down.
It introduced me to the world [G#m] as so much as it [F#] really is,
and confusion or anger or frustration or sadness,
because it shook some [G#m] pretty foundational issues [F#] in my life.
_ But that ministry has been like this great rudder,
because it's allowed me to see just the impact
that a relationship with Jesus makes in people's lives.
That was the first of, _ golly,
I bet I've been on 40 trips with Compassion [C#] since that trip to Haiti.
[F#] It's one of those things where I started out to help somebody,
and I'll never [F#] repay those people for what they've taught me. _ _ _
I mean, at this point in my life,
and I've talked to enough of my friends,
and I know a lot of us feel the same thing,
of just really [C] wanting to make everyday count,
[G] wanting to be present in the moments that [C] we're living in,
and not be caught up in just trying to get to a goal,
that there's something meaningful, tangible, simple, [G] obedient
about kind of get up in the morning and [C] just say,
I don't know about tomorrow,
I don't know about next week or next month or next year,
but I have a feeling about today, about what I'm supposed to do today.
That is where contentment is born for me.
If I've found a peaceful place in my life, it's that. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I've [G] been thinking about [C] my story
I pray I'm passing on [G] the story [Am] of love _
that _ runs through [A] _ _
_ [C] everything. _ _ _ _ _
