I have decided to share your requests here in my blog posts because of numerous requests for chord charts to specific songs or similar questions on music theory. One particular favorite requested song dates back to 1981. Remember El Shaddai when Amy Grant sang it?

Verse 1:
              Dm                   G
Through your love and through the ram,
               C          F(add9)
you saved the son of Abraham,
             Bb            E7
through the power of your hand
                Am   G/B     A/C#
you turned the sea into dry land.
         Dm             G
To the outcast on her knees
    G7/B      C       Cma7    F
you were the God who really sees,
    Bb                 G                 C   Csus C
and by your might you set your children free.


Verse 2:
             Dm                 G
Through the years you made it clear
          C                  F
that the time of Christ was near,
            Bb              E7
though the people couldn't see
        Am    G/B     A/C#
what Messiah ought to be.
             Dm                 G
Though your Word contained the plan,
            C              F
they just could not understand,
          Bb                G           Bb/F              G
your most awesome work was done in the frailty of your Son
