Words of Wisdom
(November 8)

Key of G: Travis pick Mixed Patterns
3:25

G Am
In the beginning was the Word,
D
and the Word was with God,
C D G
and the Word was God.
G Am
All things were made by him;
D G
all things were made through him,
G C D G
but the greatest gift he gave us was The Word.

(chorus)
C D G Em
Words can paint a picture more vivid than Van Gogh
c D G C
but sunsets, births, a child's laugh
C D G
leave me lost for words.

G Am
Words in a book may take you where you've never been
D C D
Words are the partners for the sweetest melody

G
Words may cause the deepest wounds
Am
or plant seeds of hope
C D
They may conceal the darkest lies
D D G
or reveal the greater truths

(chorus)

G Am
Words and deeds are the measure of a man
D C D
Sometimes what you think is better left unsaid
G Am D G
Use your words wisely, for they cannot be withdrawn
C D G
And in the end always return to the word.

(chorus)
G Am
They say a man is only good as his word
D C D
I want mine to be as good as the day I said, “I do”
G Am D G
words always fail me When I need them the most
C D G
I meant to say 'I love you,' but it got lost in all the words.

(chorus)
