Misc Praise Songs – Above Thine Own Ambitions Here (Guitar)

   G                 C
1. Above thine own ambitions here, 

        G
another voice is sounding

D
clear; 

          G       C
it is the call of God to thee, 

                 G       D
‘Oh, leave thine all and follow

G
Me.’ 

C
Go through with God, thy

G
vows to pay, 

                        D
thy life upon the altar lay; 

         G          C
the Holy Ghost will do the

             G          D
and bring to thee God's very

G
best! 

   G                   C
2. The call of God, it is so clear, 

                G
but friendships call, and home

   D
is dear; 

    G                      C
ah, lonely was the path He trod; 

                   D
then wilt thou not go through

     G
with God? 

   G               C
3. So soon Eternal Morn shall dawn, 

             G
how fast the night is

          D
hastening on; 

        G          C
so soon His lovely face to see, 

           G     D
how sad to empty handed

G
be! 

   G                             C
4. The price is high, severe the test, 

              G
for those who would enjoy

      D
God's best; 

          G         C
surrender all, then take the road, 

               G
with those who will go

D            G
through with God
