      I GIVE YOU FREEDOM (THE WHIP-POOR-WILL SONG)
               THE JOHN MARSHALL FAMILY


INTRO:
C  G  C

VERSE:
C                           Dm
I set the bound’ries of the ocean vast,
 G                                  C
Carved out the mountains from the distant past,
 C                     Dm
Moulded a man from the miry clay,
  G                           C
Breathed in him life, but he went astray.


CHORUS:
C                      Dm
I own the cattle on a thousand hills,
G                           C
I write the music for the whippoorwills,
 A                              Dm
Control the planets with their rocks and rills,
 G                       C
But give you freedom to use your own will.


VERSE:
C                        Dm
I hold the waters in My mighty hand
  G                            C
Spread out the heavens with a single span,
 C                        Dm
Make all creation tremble at My voice,
 G                         C
But My own friends come to Me by choice.


CHORUS:
C                      Dm
I own the cattle on a thousand hills,
G                           C
I write the music for the whippoorwills,
 A                              Dm
Control the planets with their rocks and rills,
 G                       C
But give you freedom to use your own will.


INSTRUMENTAL:
C  Dm   G  C
C  Dm   G  C

C  Dm   G  C
A  Dm   G  C


VERSE:
 C                       Dm
Even the oxen knows the Master’s stall,
 G                             C
And sheep will recognize the shepherd’s call
C                            Dm
I could demand your love – I own you twice,
 G                        C
But only willing love is worth the price!


VERSE:
 C                           Dm
And if you want Me to, I’ll make you whole,
 G                       C
I’ll only do it tho’ if you say so.
 A                           Dm
I’ll never force you, for I love you so,
G                            C
I give you freedom – Is it “yes” or “no”?

Dm          Em  G            C
I give you freedom – Is it “yes” or “no”?
