A FAMILY SONG

Composed by Singing Sam

I thought I'd sing you a (E)Family song,
The (A)kind that helps you (B)make it through the (E)night.
Just a simple little (E)Family song,
The (A)kind that makes you (B7)feel real good in(E)side.(Esus4)-(E)

I wanna tell you how (E)happy
I (A)am when I am (B7)singing to you (E)all, (Esus4)-(E)
And I'll love you for(E)ever
For (A)helping me to (B7)make it after (E)all.

Chorus:
I've been (A)through the (E)desert,(Esus4)-(E)
A (A)dry and (B)thirsty (E)land; (Esus4)-(E)
And I've been (A)stranded in the (E)valley, (Esus4)-(E)
But I (F#)reached out and grabbed hold of Somebody's (B7)hand.

That's why I love to write (E)Family songs,
The (A)ones that ease your (B7)mind and touch your (E)heart.
(Esus4)-(E)Non-intellectual, e(E)motional,
(A)Songs that make us (B7)close
Though far a(E)part.(Esus4)-(E)

I guess I never could (E)understand
Why (A)Jesus loved us (B7)all
When we're so (E)bad, (Esus4)-(E)
But I guess that He (E)knows us well,
And (A)loves us 'cause we're (B7)just about all He (E)had.

Second Chorus:
But we had to go (A)through the (E)desert, (Esus4)-(E)
A (A)dry and (B)thirsty (E)land; (Esus4)-(E)
And we were (A)stranded in the (E)valley (Esus4)-(E)
Until we (F#)reached up and grabbed hold of Somebody's (B7)hand.

[Repeat first and second verses]

Third Chorus:
I've been (A)through the (E)desert,(Esus4)-(E)
A (A)dry and (B)thirsty (E)land; (Esus4)-(E)
And I was (A)stranded in the (E)valley (Esus4)-(E)
Till I (F#)reached out and grabbed hold of Jesus' (B7)hand.

[Repeat third verse]

Oh, yes, I love those (A)songs that make us (B7)close
Though far a(E)part.(Esus4)-(E)-(A)-(E)
