[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ The world of music _ _ _ has been literally _ transformed [Gb] _
_ _ [B] because of the person whom I have the privilege
_ _ of [Abm] presenting to you.
_ _ [Bm] _ [F] _
Mr.
Stevie Wonder loves the [Db] Lord. _ _
_ _ He loves the Church of God in Christ.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [B] _
He loves his pastor. _ _ _ _
And [E] I'm proud to say _ [B] _
that for more than 10 years, _ _ _ _ a faithful _ [Abm] attendee and supporter _ [Ab] _ [B] and
member of West Angeles Church _ [Bm] of God in [Gb] Christ _ _ [Ab] _ [Gb] has been Mr.
Stevie Wonder.
_ [B] _ _ _ Just [Bm] three or four months ago, _ _ _ he assisted us [Db] and [B] stood with us _ so that in one [Gb] night,
_ _ _ [B] hundreds of thousands of dollars _ [Bm] was [Db] raised for our community development _ [B] corporation. _
_ I got a phone call the other day _
_ [Bbm] _ [B] and Mr.
Steve Land Morris, as he was known as a child, _ _ indicated
I want to come to my [Db] convocation [Bm] _ _ and I [Gb] want to sing a song for the Lord.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [Gb] _ _ Got up early [Bm] this morning in New York, [B] _ _ rushed trying to catch a 7 o'clock plane, missed it. _ _
Rushed caught another plane to Atlanta [Gb] _ _
[Db] and now a plane to Memphis, Tennessee.
[B] He's tired, he's weary, [Gb] _ _ [B] but he has in his own humble way set through [Db] this entire service
_ [Bm] _ just [B] _
_ to share with you and say that he loves you.
I love him with all my heart _
[F] and I'm so glad that he's [B] here today. _
May we [Gb] just give Mr.
Steve Land Morris _ a rousing applause [Ab] _ _ as [Gb] he comes to sing _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] for us right [Bm] now.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] First, I'd like to give all praise and thanks to God for life.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ It is truly my honor to be here for my bishop, _ _ Charles [Abm] Blake, West Angeles [Db] Church of God in Christ.
_ [Bm] _ _
_ [Em] It's great to be a part of [B] this celebration of this day.
[Bm] _ We celebrate the Lord Jesus Christ, _ _ _ this blessing of life. _
_ _ _ And [Db] I wanted to be here _ to _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ support _ all _ _ of you here.
_ As we all know, we're living in a time of spiritual warfare.
[B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ It is not _ _ [Db] impossible _ _ _ [Abm] for us to again _ be the kings and queens _ today [Ab] as we were yesterday.
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ We don't need anyone to say to us _ how [B] great we are because God _ _ already has made us great in his image. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] I want to sing a song that I have often sang at West Angeles _ in the key of A [Abm] flat. _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ is _ _ _ _ _ _ anybody here?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I've had some good _ [B] days.
[Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I've had some hills to [Eb] climb.
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ I've had some weary [Bbm] _ _ _ [C] days.
_ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ And [Ebm] so _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Cm] many, _ [Eb]
so many lonely sleepless [Fm] _ nights.
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] But _ _ _ when [Ab] I _ _ _ [C] looked around [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ and [Bb] I _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ [B] thought things _ over,
_ [Ebm] I started thinking things over. _ _
[F] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ All _ of my [C] good _ _
[Bbm] _ days _ _ _ _ _ [C] outweighed my [B] bad [Bbm] _ _ _
_ [D] days.
_ [Eb] _ [Ab] And _ [F] I _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ won't [Ab] complain.
_ [Db] _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] Sometimes my clouds [Bbm] hang _ low. _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And [B] I can [Db] hardly _ _ _ _ [Eb] see the _ [Cm] road.
_ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I _ ask _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
the question, [Bbm] _ Lord. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Lord, _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Eb] _ Lord, why [Ab] _
so much _ _ pain?
_ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Db] God _ [D] _ [Ab] was best for _ me.
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ Even [G] _ _ _ _ the _ _ _ _ [B] pain cannot [C] _ [F] save.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And [B] _ I _ [Fm] _ _ _
[B] _ say _ [F] thank you, [Bbm] Lord.
_ _ _ _ _ _ I say thank you, [F] Lord.
[Db] _ _ _
[Bbm] _ But [Eb] I _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Db] won't complain.
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ _ But [Bbm] God's _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Fm] been so good [Db] to me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] Even _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ the _ _ _ _ [Eb] pain cannot save.
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ [G] _ _ [F] _
_ _ And I say _ _ thank you, Lord.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ I [C] say _ _ _
[A] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ thank [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[F] _ _ _ you, Lord.
[Bbm] _ _
I say [Eb] thank you, Lord.
[Bbm] _ _
I say [F] thank you, Lord.
_ [Bbm] I say [Eb] thank you, Lord.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ I say thank _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] you.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Thank you.
God bless you.
