Lyrics
"The Pendant"
Job
Em Am
I will take up my cross with joy
D Em B7
For no matter how large it may seem
Em Am
There is always one of larger burden
D Em
I want to trust in your plan
C D
For every man who cannot sing
G B7
There are a hundred songs to write
C D
For every earthly thing I can't afford
G B7
There are natural beauties to behold
Em Am
As I now can the light
D Em B7
I see that I am greatly blessed
Em Am
Every need is filled beyond compare
D Em
I will soon be taken there
C D
For every guitar with a broken string
G B7
there are voices who will carry on and sing
C D
For every rainy dreary day,
G B7
There's a sunshiny one that's on the way.
Em Am
I will take up my cross with joy
D Em B7
For no matter how large it may seem
Em Am
unlike the cross?. that you must bear
D Em
it's but a pendant round my neck.
