Isaiah 40 verses 27-31

[Chorus]
G         D                   C
Do you not know?  Have you not heard?
              D           G
The Lord is the everlasting God,
          D                  C
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
       D                G
He will not grow tired or weary,
D               C
... and His understanding ...
  D                  G
... no one can fathom.   ... He gives
              D           C
strength to the weary and increases
  D            G
the power of the weak.
  D            C          D
 ...          ...        ...

[Verse 1]
Em                       D
Why do you say, O Jacob,
D                  Em
and complain, O Israel,
Em                       D
"My way is hidden from the Lord;
Em                       D
( Why do you say, O Jacob,
D                    Em
and complain, O Israel, )
Em                       D
my cause is disregarded by my God"?
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
  Em                     D
Even youths grow tired and weary,
  Em                    D
and young men stumble and fall;
  Em                     D
Even youths grow tired and weary,
  Em                    D
and young men stumble and fall;

[Bridge]
   G        D           C
but those who hope in the Lord
     D                  G
will renew their strength.
         D      C
They will soar on wings
   D                    G
like eagles;             ...
        D       C
they will run and not
D                        G
(not) grow weary,
         D              C      D
they will walk and not be faint.

[Chorus]
  • Note: I recorded this song in the key of C, but the chords above are in G. If I hired a real singer it would be better, but in the mean time ... wow, this is fun. All verses taken verbatim from the New International Version of the Word of God - Isaiah 40 verses 27-31.
