Alright, here's another one that we do that I thought you might enjoy. It's a
powerful hymn, so have some fun with it and sing your heart out.
We play with a Capo 2, but it can be done without it. So wherever you feel
comfortable, go for it. (All chords are relative to the capo)

But I will boast in Je---sus Christ
D A D
His death and resurrec-tion
D Em7 D/F# G
Why should I from His re---ward
D/F# Bm7 A
I cannot give an an---swer

But this I know with all my heart
