To Every Generation: Bill Batstone

I found this wonderful song and chord chart online that was written by Bill Batstone in 1986 © Marantha! Music. I've played it for years and it's so soothing and peaceful.

Psalm 90: 1-2

Lord, you have been our dwelling place
    throughout all generations
Before the mountains were born
    or you brought forth the whole world,
    from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

Shelter (To Every Generation) 

E        B      C#m     A
You have been a shelter Lord
B             A      B            A      E
To every generation, to every generation, Lord
E      B     C#m     A
A sanctuary from the storm
B             A      B            A      E    B C#m A
To every generation, to every generation, Lord

E          B         C#m
Though the mountains fall,
           A            E
Though the earth should shake,
           B                               A
Though the seas should roar with all the heartache
E          B              C#m
Though our hearts should pound,
           A           C#m
Though our throats be dry,
         F#m      A       B
We will lift Your Name on high

For me, the month of June has been filled with  celebration days from weddings, birthdays, graduations and Father's Day. How about you? Many songs come to mind when I think of the word celebrate, from praise music to pop. Here's a few.
I WILL CELEBRATE (1982 Maranatha Music) by LINDA DUVALL     Gm Dm I will celebrate, sing unto the Lord A7 Dm I will sing to Him a new song Gm I will celebrate, sing unto the Lord A7 Dm I will sing to Him a new song Gm C F Bb A7 Dm I will praise Him, I will sing to Him a new song Gm C F Bb A7 Dm I will praise Him, I will sing to Him a new song Gm Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Em7 A7 Dm Hallelu, hallelujah Gm Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Em7 A7 Dm Hallelu, hallelujah! Now, here's how I play this song. You can almost  hear the phrasing of the song and where the notes will go. Keep listening to the song and training  your ear for the changes. I'm playing:   CG/Cm I Will Celebrate   FC/Fm Sing Unto The Lord   AbEb/Cm I Will   GF/BbM7 Sing To Him a   CG/Cm New Song     Musician Training Center
