Fire In The Rain by Jerry L. Bradley
Intro: G - D	- Am – Em ----				Hollow body open or electric

Taking on our sins You knew
Am                           Em
The veil would be torn in two
Am                                 Em                     D
God’s Love could be known now by all 
G                                 D
Then Into Hell You did descend
Am                            Em
Freeing souls with redemption
Am                     Em            D
And then You rose up a-gain

                      We’d see fire in the rain     without You
[second verse]
G                             D
You ascended to Heaven above
Am                         Em
With the ransom of Your Blood
Am                      Em                 D
Sinners can re-ceive God’s love
G             D
We are spared the pain
AM             EM
That You have sustained 
AM       EM                                D
So for-giveness may be ob-tained

Without You –  Heaven could never be at-tained
              E                      D                   A
Without You - all we’d know is our pain

Fire In The Rain.

Did We Really Expect War

V-1                                                                                                
Our veterans are the ones who protected all of us
They bravely fought our wars in them we put our trust
Now they are dying - more than twenty a day 
When life ends by their own hands, we just hang our
heads and pray --  
Chorus 
Did we really expect war to leave them the same?
Did we really expect war   Not to put their souls in pain?
But with our help And the help of our Lord
Their wounded souls can heal and be restored --- again
V-2  
They are like folded flags; white stars are all that show
Their stripes are hidden, they cannot freely flow.
Their stripes are dark now, memories in their brains
Tucked with horrors they have seen, sewn with 
bloodshed, sewn with pain.--   
Chorus 
Did we really expect war to leave them the same?
Did we really expect war   Not to put their souls in pain?
But with our help And the help of our Lord
Their wounded souls can heal and be restored --- again
Bridge 
Things are so hard to share; they feel so all alone
Even with their closest friends or families in their home
They fear if they unfurl their flags, they will surely fall
apart
They just want to keep them cased, tightly wrapped 
around their heart – wrapped around their heart
around their wounded heart
Chorus 
Did we really expect war to leave them the same?
Em                     D                        C                         G
Did we really expect war   Not to put their souls in pain?
But with our help and the help of our Lord           
Their wounded souls can heal and be restored 
Outro  
But with our help and the help of our Lord            
Their wounded souls can heal and be restored   again

Intro: Dm – Am – Dm - Am 

Verse 1
Dm                                          Am
I would call upon God almost every day
Dm                                             Am
Asking for what I wanted, that’s how I’d pray 
Em                                            Am
But I never thought of what He takes away
Em                                     Am
My fear,  my anger,  in-se-cur-ity  

Chorus (note: if second singer, come in on second half of lines with harmony) 
   F                     G        C                       Am

Through Your saving Grace I will never be the same walk F, C & Am
F                   G                   C
By losing, so much I have gained

Verse 2
Dm                                      Am
I lusted for the things  that  other’s had 
Dm                                    Am
Anger filled my soul,   en-raged and mad 
Em                                            Am
Amidst the guilt and sin, so de-pressed and sad
Em                                          Am
He’s taken all away, the dark-ness and bad

Chorus 
   F                     G        C                       Am

   F                    G           C                     Am      
I Thank You oh Lord for what You take away      walk into F, C & Am
F                                  G                C                  Am
Through Your saving Grace I will never be the same walk F, C & Am
F                   G                   C

By Losing I Have Gained

In the Valley by Jerry L. Bradley and Ben Joseph                                                      

First Verse                                                                               capo 2
D			 Ds4        G+                     D
I was down in the valley, darkness all around
	          Ds4          G+                D
I felt so all alone, no light to be found
		                       Ds4          G+                      D
I Tried running from the valley, in circles I would go
		       Ds4              G+                     D
I was lost in the valley, and I was sinking low

Chorus
             A                                             G                               D
Then I felt The Holly Sprit,    and I knew it would be okay
   A                                                             G                 D
I bowed my head in reverence     As I started to pray
G	                                  D
Lord I want to run    But alone I will stray
G                                                  A
Please walk beside me    And show me the way

Second Verse
D		      Ds4                 G+                      D
The journey is long and my travels are not done
		            Ds4                     G+                D
But my wounded soul heals with each rising sun
			                Ds4      G+                     D 
You must walk out of the valley, for you cannot run
	                     Ds4          G+                      D
You must trust in Lord, His light will surly come

Then I felt The Holly Sprit,    and I knew it would be okay
   A                                                             G                 D
I bowed my head in reverence     As I started to pray
G	                                  D
Lord I want to run    But alone I will stray
G                                                  A
Please walk beside me    And show me the way


Third Verse
D                    Ds4      G+                      D
The Sun is a-rising, like a morning star
                              Ds4             G+               D
The pain I’ve endured, I’ve traveled so far
                                   Ds4                   G+                                  D
Now I’m up on the mountain, the Lord has brought me here
                  Ds4            G+          D
No more Darkness, no more fears

When I feel The Holly Sprit,    I know it will be okay
   A                                                             G                 D
I bow my head in reverence     To the Lord I do pray
G	                                        D
Lord I wanted to run    But alone I would have strayed
G                                                                  A
Thank You for walking with me    And showing me the way



Resolve
D	                       Ds4       G+                  D
I was down in the valley, darkness all around
		            Ds4                     G+                        D
But now the Lord lights my path for His love I’ve found 
   
			   Ds4     G+                            D
I was down in the valley
			   Ds4      G+                              D        [one slow strum out]
I was down in the valley, where His love I’ve found
