Here's another of Rich's songs with chords from Steven Harris
Thanks, Steve. I was needing a solo for a Prayer & Praise this Saturday night. I think I'll do this one in honor of Rich's 40th birthday. I sure wish I was going to see the concert. Kathy Sanders has promised a review, since she never got around to writing one for the Dallas/OKC shows. Those of you going to the Chicago show, better take good notes, so you can let us know all about it.
HATCHING OF A HEART by: Rich MullinsG2 Well the night was cold and my heart was hidden very safely in its shell G2 C2 But I knew somehow I'd have to run that risk, I'd have to open up myself C2 But You said look at the stars on the face of the sky C2 They're the same ones Abraham saw C2 Come under my wings, I will make you shine, G2 Give you strength enough to love
Em C Now I'm getting strong enough Am7 C/D D You helped me chip my way out and open myself up
D/C C2 And for the snow that comes from winter D4 D Em4 Em For the growth that comes from pain D/C C2 D4 D Em4 Em For the joke I can't remember though the laughter long remains D/B C2 D4 D Em4 Em For the faith that brought to finish all I doubted at the start D/B C2 D4 D G2 Lord I give you praise for all that makes for the hatching of a heart
G2 Well my face was smooth and featureless just like an egg G2 C2 And if I was moved you would never guess it by the look upon my face C2 But You said man looks without but I look within C2 I can see the love you hide C2 It's a matter of doubt, it's a symptom of sin, G2 It's a problem of too much pride
Em C And I, now I'm opening up wide Am7 C/D D Wet feathers pulled out from beneath me and You're teaching me to fly
D/C C2 For the strength that comes with friendship D4 D Em4 Em For the warmth that comes from hope D/C C2 D4 D Em4 Em For the love time can't diminish and for the time love takes to grow D/B C2 D4 D Em4 Em For the moonlight on the water and for the bright and morning star D/B C2 D4 D ||: G2 C2 :|| G2 Lord I give you praise for all that makes for the hatching of a heart
