God Favored Me

[cordney]

Here's my version...if there are any mistakes I apologize.  I had to learn this song for Sunday and thought it was fairly easy but nice.
Reminder, this is the basics not note for note.



Verse 1
D                          D
Love is patient, caring. Love is Kind.
D                              D
Love is felt most when it's genuine,
D                     D
but I had my share of love, abuse,
D                         D                A   G
manipulated and it's strength misused, and I can't
F#        B        E
help but give you glory
A    G   F#   B        E     A      D         E     F#   G
when I think about my story, and I know you favored me because
    A           E                   A         A       
my enemies did try they couldn't triumpt over me
     B        E                  A          D
Yes they did try they couldn't triumpt over me.



Verse 2
D                          D
Love is patient, caring. Love is Kind.
D                              D
Love is felt most when it's genuine,
D                     D
but I had my share of love, abuse,
D                         D                A   G
manipulated and it's strength misused, and I can't
F#        B        E
help but give you glory
A    G   F#   B        E     A      D         E     F#   G
when I think about my story, and I know you favored me because
    A           E                   A         A       
my enemies did try they couldn't triumpt over me
     B        E                  A          D
Yes they did try they couldn't triumpt over me.

Verse 3
G                 F#        E                A
They whispered, conspired, they told their lies (God favors me)
G                 F#        E                A
My character, my integrity, my faith in God (He favors me)
G                 F#        E                A
Will not fall, will not bend, wont comprimise(God favors me)
G                 F#        E                A
I speak life and prosperity and I speak health (God favors me)
Repeat 2x


The 2nd time it's A G# F# B
The 3rd time it's B Ab G# C#

Hope you enjoy

Great post Cordney, I hadn't heard of the song prior to your post.

For those who are trying to figure movements or progressions out, this is a great song to hear different things
because of its moderate tempo.

Newbie's can take this post as an opportunity to get some good work in.  Simply search on youtube, for the song, and play along....  Focus on scale degrees over letters...

Thanks again Cordney.

I agree with Torch. This is a simple song, but it allows you to test a lot of theoretical skills. You'll gain an understanding about movements and progressions.

This song leaves a lot of room for an individual to have fun with but remember to keep it simple and then build up.
