[Gb] And I got to [C] hear this song for [F] [C] [Gm] the first time in Canada, actually, about [Ab] seven or eight years [C] ago.
And the song wasn't finished.
A guy [Bb] named Dean Dillon was writing it [N] with Tom Douglas,
which Dean Dillon wrote 50 of like the 54 [Fm] George Strait.
He's one of [Dm] the most well-known songwriters in Nashville, but so is [Fm] Tom Douglas.
[B] Tom Douglas wrote House That Built [Gb] Me [C]
[G] and many others that you know [C] by heart.
I [Eb] think both of them would [Ab] say that this song is the crescendo [Gb] of their entire career,
[Ab]
the most beautiful piece of art that they've [D] ever made.
And I would agree [A] with it, [F] mostly because of the subject matter.
[Bb]
We all [F] need help, and we [Bm] prove it [A]
[N] the way that we feel.
God just designed it that way so that we would go to Him [F] for help.
And [N] the only way we get help [Ab] from Him [B] is if we have hearts that are strong enough to believe
in that even though we are who we are, He can love us anyway.
[Am]
And [N] this song is actually a C.S. Lewis quote, [A] and it's a [N] song that's kind of pleading with all of us to believe that He was.
[D]
I need His [A] help, and I know there's probably a future to this.
[Gbm]
[N] Maybe look at tomorrow.
Tomorrow doesn't have any hope.
[Am] If you look at Him, you'll see all the hope you need.
[Dm] [N] This song is called Wire Me.

[Am]
Jesus [G] wouldn't take it.
[F] Some cried, set me [Am] free.
Someone turned [G] to me and [F] asked, [C] Now who do you believe?
[F] You take Him at [G] His word for it's [A] favor.
[Dm] Double [G]-edged sword [Dm]
is healed undertaker.
[Gm] A [Ab] liar [A] or a [Am] lord.
[G] [C]
[F] [Am] Well me, my [G] name is Jonas.
[Dm]
[Cm] My [Fm] trade is mail and net.
[Gm] [A] This [F] one always [G] different [Am] [F] from any other one.
[D] [F] With the first bite [Em] in His right hand, [D] I looked Him [G] in the eye.
[Dm] The guilty ones [Ab] cry out for [G] shame, [F] but if [G] they did [C] not lie.
[D] [G] [C]
[G] It was [A] too early [C] for the sunset.
[Fm] Yet so dark we could not see.
[Am] And I heard His voice [G] cry out, My God, [F] my God,
I have you forsaken.
[G] [Am] We just cast our lots [G] for His [C] glory.
[F] For none of us worshiped Him.
Was [D] He a undertaker?
[Dm] A [G] liar [Ab] [Am] or a lord.
[C] [F]
Oh, we gathered in our room.
In our sorrow and despair.
[C] Mary rushed from the tomb.
Said, Our Lord is not there.
[F] Suddenly He appeared to us with spack marks on His feet.
[C] Greased out His hands of blood and love.
[G] [Abm] Turned to them [A] and [Am] [D] said, [Fm] Now [G] who [C] do [F] you believe?
They asked my word, for it's a doublet story.
Am [Dm] I a liar?
[A] A [Ab] liar [Am] or a lord?
[D] [F] Yes, I take Him at His word.
He's my shield and sword.
No [D] one, [G] no one,
[C] [G]
[A] He's [C] mine.
