In the stars His handiwork i see,

on the wind He speaks with majesty;

though He ruleth over land and sea, what is that to me?

i will celebrate nativity,

for it has a place in history;

sure, He came to set His people free—what is that to me?

Till by faith i met Him face to face,

and i felt the wonder of His grace—

then i knew that He was more

than just a God who didn’t care,

that lived away out there; and,

now He walks beside me day by day,

ever watching o’er me lest i stray,

He’s everything to me!

When i survey the wondrous cross

or thorns compose so rich a crown?

The Coloring Song

down the face of Someone who loves us so.

He’s the perfect man. He’s the Lord’s own Son.

He’s the Lamb of God. He’s the only One

who can give us life that can make us grow

Blue is the color of the heart so cold

that it will not bend when the story’s told

of the love of God for a sinful race

that can give us life, that can make us grow

that can keep our hearts from growing cold.

Gold is the color of the morning sun

that shines so freely on everyone.

It’s the Son of love that keeps us warm.

It’s the Son of love that calms the storm

that can give us life that can make us grow

that can turn our mornings into gold.

Brown is the color of the autmn leaves

when the winter comes to the barren trees.

There is birth. There is death. There is a plan.

And there’s just one God and there’s just one Man

that can give us life that can make us grow

that can make our sins as white as snow.

CapoKey You will notice that on each page there are two boxes in the upper right hand corner. These are suggestions for easier keys to play the song in. Sometimes i left it blank so you can put in your own suggested key changes. Why would you want to change the key? To make it easier to play, of course! To convert a song to a different key is a relatively simple task. You start with whatever key it is

are going to use “Everyday.” (pg 12). First of all, “Everyday” is keyed in E (notice the starting anchor chord?). The key of D is probably easier to

the piano chart below. Notice the E key? Good. Find the D key. Got it? Good. Isn’t this fun? Anyway, you’ll notice that the D key and the E key are 1 full steps (or 2 half steps if you wish) away from each other. You simply move each of the other chords down 1 full step as well. Look at the song again, then come back here. Back already? Ready for the next step? Ok. You just moved all the chords DOWN one full step (2 half steps) so that if you play the song now it will be LOWER when sung. To compensate for this (in other words, so that when you play in the new key you will still be singing the old pitch) you need to put the CAPO UP, yes UP, 2 frets. Why, you ask? i’m glad you asked. Each fret on a guitar is one-half step. So by dropping the key 2 steps DOWN, but putting the CAPO UP 2 steps (2 frets) notewise we are back where we started. Why move it then? To make it easier to play, of course. Silly question. So, when you transpose (change the key) and then capo it the song will sound the same if you play it as when someone else is playing along with the chords already written on the page. To give you something concrete to help the process let’s change the chords for “Everyday.” So the chords become:
