Chords for Steven Curtis Chapman - I Will Be Here (1991 Dove Awards)

_ They're such great guys.
You know nice people do win.
And this young man coming up is one of the nicest I've met.
He set an all [B]-time record last year with 10 Dove nominations.
Yes, and he won five of them.
[Ab] That's right, including being named Artist of the Year.
And he's back again this year with another sack full of nominations.
He writes and sings from the heart.
Just listen to this beautiful ballad he has written to his very lovely wife, Mary [Bb] Beth.
Ladies and gentlemen, my friend, Stephen Curtis Chapman. Yeah.
