Lyrics
BONEY HAND (I?M STANDING AND I CAN?T FALL DOWN)
Em CMaj7
A boney hand knocked on my door
FMaj7 B7 Em
I opened it and a corpse fell to my floor
CMaj7 B7 Em
Clutched in that boney hand was a bottle of pills
FMaj7 F#Dim Cmaj7 B7 Em
And a note that said "Try these, or never know their power"
G B7 Em
And now I'm falling and I can't get up
FMaj7 B7 Em
I'm falling and I can't possibly get up
Am7 B7 CMaj7 B7
I've tumbled into a bottomless pit
Am7 B7 Cmaj7 B7 Em
And now I'm falling, falling, falling and I can't get up.
Em CMaj7
A holy man knocked on my door
Fmaj7 B7 Em
I opened it, just like I had before
Cmaj7 B7 Em
Clutched in his pierced hand was a tiny Scroll
Fmaj7 F#Dim Cmaj7 B7 Em
That said "Believe in Jesus, or never know his power"
G B7 Em
And now I'm standing and I can't fall down
Fmaj7 B7 Em
I'm standing and I can't possibly fall down
Am7 B7 Cmaj7 B7
I've tumbled into a bottomless love
Am7 B7 Cmaj7 B7 Em
And now I'm standing, standing, standing and I can't fall down,
A Am Cmaj7 B7
He brought me up out of a horrible pit
A Am B7
When Jesus rose up from the grave
A Am Cmaj7 B7
And he set my feet upon a solid rock
Cmaj7 B7
And established me in all of his ways
A Am Cmaj7 B7
And he put a new song in my mouth
A Am B7
Even praise unto our God
A Am Cmaj7 B7
Many will see and many will fear
Cmaj7 B7
And many will put their trust in God
