Children Of The Promise

hey howdy hey,

I made a chord sheet for my new song. If you wanted it or were curious about playing it, I posted it below as well as a link to hear a demo.

Worshiping the Lord is a great honor and thankfulness is at its core. We are returning to Him with gratitude for what He has done and promised us! He has done so much for us but looking forward to the full completion of His promise is our hope. He has promised us a way to full reconciliation with Himself which He Himself accomplished. He has given us the guarantee, that is the Holy Spirit, of our eternal communion with Him. 2 Corinthians 5:5-8 says

"5Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

6So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.
7For we walk by faith, not by sight.
8We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord."

Think about it though we are confident and have faith in a guarantee of His promise? Let me submit something to you....a guarantee is only as good as the one guaranteeing, and isn't He the only one who can truly guarantee?!? Emphatically YES!

*The “A” is a quick drop of the root of the “C” chord to open A. It is not required. All “A”s are truly “Am”s

The “F/C” can be played as a F power chord or C power chord with lower F root or bass note. Whatever is preferred?
