Tonart: E major
Verse 1
D
G
Now, we'll hear from a new artist,
Leighton
Howerton, followed by the
Kirby
Man, from
his debut recording,
God.
G
I was driving over the mountain to go preach
over in a little town outside of
Jackson,
G
Riverton, and on the way over there,
D
G
a truth that really hit me hard, and I think
God's been trying to teach me,
D
is that we refer to the things we do as our life's work,
F#m
F
G
what we do every day, our particular job,
or our skill, or our craft, or a gift, whatever
God has been showing me recently
G
is that our life's work is not
D
what we individually do,
G
write songs or preach or those kind of things.
D
It's actually our life's work is
F#m
what we do each day for
Christ.
G
And I think what's really awesome
in that nature is that I looked at
Paul's life and
recognized him as a tent maker,
Em
A
but that's not really what his life's work was, making
tents.
G
I'm sure there was some criticism of those tents occasionally too,
F#m
that somebody said, well,
Bm
Paul, you know, you didn't really
stitch this seam together
G
Bm
But, you know, I know that that
wasn't his life's work.
Em
His life's work was about
D
Bm
Je sus, and going over the mountain this weekend,
G
that's really where the
Lord struck me and said, you know,
Em
this is where your life's
A
It's telling people about me
Dsus4
D
and sharing me.
G
D
I'm standing at your door
D
F#m
But you reach up to a remote rural
Em
I sit back and act like nothing ever strange
A
G
Dsus4
But I keep knocking and
D
G
D
you keep ignoring

And I wonder if you're

When your life, your wife, is riddled, well,

And I'm still waiting, patiently
D
F#m
The many times I've
knocked upon your door

G
But you won't listen,
D

and time is fleeting

It's been a life of heartbreak,
