Comments:
I tried to play all the other tabs for these songs (different websites too) and
none of them sounded all the way right, or the bridge was missing or something?
This set of chords, I believe is near perfect (I?m not sure if the 2nd to last C
chord in the chorus is right). If I find out that it?s different, I?ll fix it.
This is an awesome song, with an awesome message.
So to anyone who reads this,
Take some time to actually think about the lyrics of this song. How much time are
you really spending with God? When you go to Church, do the words of the songs
and sermon go in one ear and out the other, or do you actually apply them to your
life? Do you take the time to worship God even when you are physically and
mentally exhausted, or does God come second?
Every time I hear this song, I am reminded what living for God really means, and I
hope the message of ?Even When? resounds in you too.
God bless,
