Another Joel Weldon Song

About a year ago I posted the chords to Overwhelmed by Joel Weldon. I had met Joel around 1992 and he had put together a songbook that I purchased, called Catch Fire! America.  

There's another cool song that Joel wrote along with Dave Long and Steve Mills called, Lay Your Hands On Me, God.  Here  are  the chords in the Key of E Major.

Lay Your Hands On Me, God

Intro: E  A/E  B/E  E  A/E  A/B  B

                                                        E                                  A/E

Lay Your hands on me, God

                            E

Lift me up, make me strong

                                                                   B/E                  A/E            E

Show me Your way, won't You heal me today

                                                                    A/E                                E

Your love is so real, and the feelings I feel

                                                                B/E                    A/E                 B/E  A/E A E

Words just won't say how You've touched me today

 

                                                      A           B      E

God of mercy, I'll try to stand

                                              A                B         E                             C#m

Strong and faithful, live by Your command

                                                           E                    A                      Bsus4  B

You still love me even when I lose my way

                                            C#m                 E        D  

I know You're only a simple prayer away

How To Play Overwhelmed: Joel Weldon

I've played Overwhelmed from the Revive! album many times. Are you familiar with the song? It's pretty laid back, slow tempo with the ladies voices doing an echo. You can get the MP3 at Overwhelmed
