Next Thing You Know
F
I remember when I was thirteen
A#
I saw a picture on my TV screen
F
The Reverend Billy Graham and the people Singin just as I am
A#
And a fella keep on talkin? to me
F
And the whole world seemed to fade away
A#
Until I heard my mother say
F
?Sonny, you ok??,?do you wanna pray??
A#
and that became the hour I first belived
[Refrão]F A#
Next thing you know ( I?m high and flying)
F A#
Next thing you know ( My heart is in your hands)
F A#
Next thing you know ( There?s no denying)
F A#
Next thing you know ( I?m a brand new man)
F
Well I wish I could say I always stayed right there
A#
And I did until my freshman year
F
But the world was pullin? me a long way from thirteen
A#
And you were callin? but I didn?t hear
F
Still I knew there was something more
A#
So one day my knees hit the dorm room floor
F
I said ?if you?re there, then if you really care
A#
Come and talk to me like I was thirteen?

F
I got a picture in my head today
A#
Of how heaven might look someday
F
I see the people there so I pull up a chair
A#
and the stories they blow me away
F
cause I can see it on every face
A#
the evidence of grace
F
and as I listen it occurs to me
A#
everybody's got their own thirteen
F
so what?s your story
A#
about his glory
F
you got to find your place
A#
in the history of grace
F
ya what?s your story??
A#
About his glory??
F
Cmon Find Your place!
