Chords for Pastor Winans "Sweet Hour of Prayer"

I wish I had a [Eb] voice tonight.
[Db] _
No, [Gb] no, no, no, really.
I [Db] don't say that.
You have to understand something about me.
_ _ _ I'm not shy at all.
_ _ [Gbm] I don't know that I've ever been shy.
_ _ [Db] And I don't seek false [Ab] humility.
I [Db] tell people, you [Dbm] know, it's_
[Bb] You know, I [Db] used to be upset because I _ _ ministered music in our church. _
_ And so, you know, we all grew [Db] up in church.
_ [Gbm] _ So they wasn't told to pastor [Ab] on me. _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ They did.
They wasn't told to pastor on me.
They said, [Db] he just give his family the songs. _ _ _
Other people can sing.
I didn't [Gb] know.
I didn't know they wasn't told to pastor on me.
[Bb] And so [Db] I'm in that room rehearsing.
Because I don't play when it comes to singing.
I've always been serious.
We don't play.
We come to rehearse.
[Ab] We get through when I say we [Fm] through.
_ You know, I was [Eb] like that.
I started Perfected Praise when I was [Db] a pastor.
And I had to quit _ _ _ being over that.
Because [Gb] I was too mean as a_
[Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] He didn't be a mean, you know, choir director and a sweet shepherd.
You know what I'm saying?
I [C] said, I got to quit.
_ _ [Ab] If you don't sing, where [Ebm] are you going?
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ It was kind of like that.
It was really rough.
_ But we [Db] sounded good.
You know what I'm saying?
So it was worth it.
But my point is that I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
have [D] _ _ [B] a [Eb] voice.
I don't know where it's at.
_ _ _ [Ab] We just missed that one.
Whatever it was, it's gone.
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] So I, you know, [Abm] they was telling on me.
That's what I was talking about.
They was [Ab] telling on me.
_ _ So [Dbm] they was telling on me.
And they went [Gb] and said, you know, that I was [Eb] giving all the songs to [Gb] my mama and my [Ab] brother.
You know, and [Gb] so I didn't know the [Dbm] pastor was coming to [Eb] church to check [Abm] out what I was doing.
So I'm in the middle of rehearsal.
And I look on shocked because he never come to a [Db] choir rehearsal before.
And so [Ebm] I said, _ Pastor, is there something you want to say?
He said, no, go ahead. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Pastor, you're still here.
_ _ You should know what you're doing.
You don't [Db] sing. _ _ _ _ _
And so [D] he said, well, [Db] _ _
[Fm] Brother Marvin, there's something I want to say.
You know, he was very straight to the [Ebm] point.
He said, people have been saying that you, and this is in front of the choir, people have been saying that you've been [Ab] unfair.
I said, what? _
[Db] They say, you know, your family direct.
And I said, well, who said [Abm] that?
_ _ [B] So, like, you know, he pointed him out.
I said, well, okay. _
I didn't know you had [Am] a music ministry.
But come on up here and [Ab] direct this prayer.
[E] I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Show [Bm] the pastor what you can do.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ Since you're telling on people.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
And needless to say, [Db] I said, let me tell you something.
[Eb] _ _ _ I'm not going to apologize _ because [Gb] B.B. and C.C. [Db] and Carvin and [Bb] Daniel and Mama and all [Gb] of them can sing.
[C] What you want me to do?
Act like they [F] can't.
_ [Gbm] And then I [D] told him, you [Db] can't sing.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ I tell people that.
I've told people, stop saying, let me say, _ [Bm] you just [Db] appreciate me. _ _
I've told people.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
So I [Cm] said all that to say, [Eb] _ _ _ [Eb] I'm telling you, [G] I don't have a voice tonight.
[Ab] That's what that's what all that was about.
_ So, you know, _ let's go to the word [Dbm] of God.
