| Liberty
Guitar Tuning forgotten : ( I sinned again So I am numb Silenced with in my heart So hard to pray I don’t know what to say I am just trying to figure out How I can keep this from happening again I chose to let myself be free But I did not walk in liberty Thus I made myself all the more a slave to sin O Lord I am so frightened of freedom It seems to show me just how immature I am I am like a made dog on a leash Keep me chained and I do pretty good But how can I ever learn to fly can I ever learn to fly Unless I take the chains of my feet O Lord I can I keep my outwardly clean with the law? But I am like a whitewashed tomb full of dead men’s bones You made a new law that is above the old Just like arrow dynamics can soar above the law of gravity Yet I’m still crawling on the ground Though you have given me wings I am not using them O Lord teach me to walk in the law of liberty So every temptation is a key opportunity Not only to chose not to sin But to show you how much I love By doing something I know that pleases you That makes you happy |

| Pslam 139 Standard
Tuning Capo 3rd O LORD You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down, my rising up You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. There’s not a word on my tongue, But behold You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind me and before me, You have laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too Wonderful for me It is to high, I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, your still there. If I take the wings of the morning, or dwell in the deeps of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” The night shall be like day, Indeed, the darkness shall shine, For You formed my inward parts, You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and I am Wonderfully made Marvelous are Your works O Lord, that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden When You made me in secret, skillfully wrought me in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. In Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When there were none of them. How Precious also are Your thoughts of me, How great is the sum of them! There like the sand of the sea, when I awake, You still are with me. O Lord Search me and know my Heart, Know my anxieties See if there is any wicked way in me O God, And lead me in the way Everlasting. |
