Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
     C#C#          F#F#
Just a little congregation gathered in the church house pews
 A#mA#m      F minorFm  D#mD#m         G#G#
Sunday after Sunday, our eyes are all on you
A#mA#m               F minorFm
Though it’s not always easy, sometimes your strength seems gone
   D#mD#m         C#C#     F#F#     G#G#
But thru it all you’ve shown us just how to carry on

Verse 2:
C#C#            F#F#
No one knows the hours you have spent upon your knees
   A#mA#m         F minorFm    D#mD#m       G#G#
The tear stains on your pillow is something no one sees
  A#mA#m              F minorFm
But in Heaven there’s a record of all you say and do
     D#mD#m        C#C#     F#F#    G#G#
And right now we’re giving honor where honor is due

Chorus:
       C#C#          F#F#
Because you gave just look around and see
     G#G#                 C#C#
All the lives that have been changed for eternity
 G#G#     C#C#            F#F#
Every sacrifice made a difference in our lives
     A#A#     D#mD#m
That is why we say Thanks
     G#G#              C#C#    A augmentedA
That is why we’re here today because you gave

Verse 3:
 D MajorD           G+G
One day up in Heaven, He’ll say My child well done
 B minorBm           F# minorF#m       E minorEm       A augmentedA
And then you’ll hear Him call our names, each and every one
    B minorBm             F# minorF#m
You’ll see us enter Heaven’s gates with tears in your eyes
 E minorEm        D MajorD       G+G          A augmentedA
We’ve all made it safely home and you’re the reason why
       D MajorD            G+G
Because you gave just look around and see
     A augmentedA                  D MajorD
All the lives that have been changed for eternity
 A augmentedA     D MajorD            G+G
Every sacrifice made a difference in our lives
     E minorEm
That is why we say Thanks
     A augmentedA                D MajorD
That is why we’re here today because you gave
