Isaiah 40 verses 27-31

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

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

[2nd stanza]
  Em                     D
<b>Even youths grow tired and weary,</b>
  Em                    D
<b>and young men stumble and fall;</b>
  Em                     D
<b>Even youths grow tired and weary,</b>
  Em                    D
<b>and young men stumble and fall;</b>

[Bridge]

[3rd stanza]
   G        D           C
<b>but those who hope in the Lord</b>
     D                  G
<b>will renew their strength.</b>
         D      C
<b>They will soar on wings</b>
   D                    G
<b>like eagles;             ...</b>
        D       C
<b>they will run and not</b>
D                        G
<b>(not) grow weary,</b>
         D              C      D
<b>they will walk and not be faint.</b>

[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.
