Subject: [RichMailList 54]: Song Lyric followup

This is my last post before Christmas, so I wanted to wish everyone a blessed holiday season. I also wanted to followup on a couple things. First, concerning the lyrics to "Save Me", Jane Hamilton writes:

He changed one line at the Syracuse, New York concert.
> Save me from any woman who would be turned on by the aftershave I'd use
                                             ^^off
I wonder if that was pressure from the label or the public, since "turned 
off" can mean "disgusts" whereas "turned on" generally has a sexual 
connotation.  Or maybe he just made a mistake.

Second, Steve Harris has put together a tablature for "We Are Not As Strong", and also has available a midi file. The tablature follows. Contact Steve about getting and using the midi file.

NOT AS STRONG AS WE THINK WE ARE
by: Rich Mullins

C2 It took the hand of God Almighty to part the waters of the sea C2/E But it only took one little lie to separate you and me F2 C2 Gsus4/D G7 Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

C2 And they say that one day Joshua made the sun stand still in the sky C2/E But I can't even keep these thoughts of you from passing by F2 C2 G/B C Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

C/E C/F G F C We are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made G F C Forged in the fires of human passion, choking on the fumes of selfish rage Am F And with these our hells and our heavens so few inches apart Dm G4 G We must be awefully small, and not as strong as we think we are

C2 And the Master said their faith was gonna make them mountains move But me, I tremble like a hill on a fault line C2/E Just at the thought of how I lost you F2 C2 G/B C Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

C/E C/F G F C We are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made G F C Forged in the fires of human passion, choking on the fumes of selfish rage Am F And with these our hells and our heavens so few inches apart Dm G4 G We must be awefully small, and not as strong as we think we are

C2 It took the hand of God Almighty to part the waters of the sea C2/E But it only took one little lie to separate you and me F2 C2 G4/D C Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are F2 C2 Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
