For The Sake Of The Call

Biography:

“I know this is not anything like you thought the story of your life was gonna be...but there's so much of the story that's still yet to unfold.” Few people know the pain and the promise in that statement better than Steven Curtis Chapman. The past few years have been an incredible journey that Chapman wouldn’t have chosen, yet has taught him so very much. Those lessons permeate every song on Chapman’s new album The Glorious Unfolding.

PLAY INTRODUCTION RIFF FOR ABOUT TWICE (8 BARS) then start the song
at the 2nd bar of the third round...

Nobody stood and applauded them |>
|> Play the same as the intro
So they knew from the start |> riff for about 8 bars.

This road would not lead to fame |>
Dsus C#7 F#msus
All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them
G#msus Asus Dsus
He said "Come follow me" and they came
F#msus A
With reckless abandon they came

Empty nets lying there at the waters edge |>
|> Play the same as the
Told a story that few could believe |> intro riff for about
|> 8 bars.
And none could explain |>

For Jesus had called them by name and they answered

And we'll answer....
