"The Old Man's Faith" Key of G Intro: G,,,G,,,D,,,G,,,G,,,C,,,D,,, Verse 1: G C There was an old man under desert stars so wide D G God made him a promise, said "look up to the sky" G C "Count those stars if you can, that's how your children'll be" D Em D And that old man just believed, nothing more, nothing less, just believed Chorus: G C It ain't what you do, it's who you trust D G Grace falls like rain on the righteous and unjust C G His children aren't the ones who try to earn their way Em C D G They're the ones who simply trust what the Father has to say Verse 2: G C So tell me how you got here, was it by your own two hands? D G Did you work your way to heaven with your own religious plans? G C Or did you hear the truth and let it wash over your soul D Em D You believed and He came running, made a broken sinner whole Chorus: G C It ain't what you do, it's who you trust D G Grace falls like rain on the righteous and unjust C G His children aren't the ones who try to earn their way Em C D G They're the ones who simply trust what the Father has to say Bridge: C G That old man never saw it all come true D Em But he believed and that was enough for you C G If you believe like he believed that night D (hold D) You're his child, you're walking in his light Verse 3: G C So don't go back to striving, don't go back to keeping score D G He gave you everything the moment you walked through the door G C The Spirit came the instant that you trusted what was true D Em D It wasn't what you did, friend, it was what He did for you Final Chorus: G C It ain't what you do, it's who you trust D G Grace falls like rain on the righteous and unjust C G His children aren't the ones who try to earn their way Em C D G They're the ones who simply trust what the Father has to say Outro: C G D Em Just believe, just believe, like that old man b
