<p>Anyone want to do this one, and post a video? I made them into images, so I'd be sure the formatting is correct, but here's how to fret each chord on a G-D-G cigar box guitar, plus the chords with the lyrics. If this looks funky, refer to the images.</p>

<p>He is jealous for me,</p>
<p>Am</p>
<p>Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,</p>
<p>G F</p>
<p>Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.</p>
<p>C</p>
<p>When all of a sudden,</p>
<p> Am</p>
<p>I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,</p>
<p> G</p>
<p>And I realize just how beautiful You are,</p>
<p> F</p>
<p>And how great Your affections are for me. (2nd time - Oh how He Loves)</p>

<p> VERSE 2:</p>
<p>C</p>
<p>We are His portion and He is our prize,</p>
<p>Am</p>
<p>Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,</p>
<p>G F</p>
<p>If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.</p>
<p>C</p>
<p>So Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,</p>
<p>Am</p>
<p>And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,</p>

<p>Hi all.</p>
<p>I've just joined the group after finding out that my Dad, who I was estranged from, died in March last year. It seems my sister knew all along and although we're estranged too she does have my address and could have gotten a message to me. Family, eh?! </p>

<p>Hi all.</p>
<p>I've just joined the group after finding out that my Dad, who I was estranged from, died in March last year. It seems my sister knew all along and although we're estranged too she does have my address and could have gotten a message to me. Family, eh?! </p>
<p>I should perhaps mention that I'm not Christian or anything, though I guess technically I'm a back slidden born again Christian as I was very devout in my faith many moons ago. It may be hypocritical to ask this but if you could hold my family in prayer and Dani too as she supports me through this time then I'd really appreciate it.</p>
<p>Just feeling very unsettled right now and my head's kind of muddled with trying to figure out how I should be feeling. I grew up in the care of the state because of things related to my Dad and Mum and everyone in the family is fractured because of it. Hence I don't know whether to scream, cry, collapse, implode or just try and move on at least knowing the health risks to me related to how he passed. Yeah, just don't know if I'm coming or going but trying to carry on with things as well as possible.</p>
<p>Prayers appreciated anyway and thanks for listening. I think just typing this out and actually telling someone may help but prayers are definitely appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks and best regards,</p>

<p>Walt Haapapuro mentioned earlier this week that he would like to join the praise <br/>band at his church with his CBG. That is amazing! <br/><br/>I know God uses the peculiar to reach the lost. Now, I am not calling Walt strange <br/>but a CBG is a truly unique instrument. It can break down walls and build bridges<br/>like no other.<br/><br/>I am not sure if this is the proper place to open this discussion but I wanted to chat<br/>about worship songs on the CBG. What do you play? What works/what doesn't...<br/><br/>Being a renegade Southern Baptist, I am partial to the hymns: Amazing Grace, Victory<br/>In Jesus, I'll Fly Away, I Saw The Light... Songs like that. I add a G7 here and there and<br/>they turn into nasty blues hymns.<br/><br/>I was talking to a pastor friend of mine. He is well read on the latest trends in churches. <br/>He said there is a big movement in bluegrass type worship which lends itself to the CBG.<br/><br/>Contemporary artists like (David) Crowder have a hillbilly flavor to them. "My Beloved" by<br/>Crowder is one of my favorites and sounds great on a 3 string!<br/><br/>I am not part of a worship team. I am, however, a regular at a local coffee shop open mic <br/>night. God has provided a cool venue for me to share these songs with an ever changing <br/>audience. It's a lot of fun and I feel His pleasure when His is glorified. <br/><br/>I am convinced the God can use servants like me and Walt, armed with a box, a stick and <br/>three strings, to move the world closer to Him!<br/><br/>What worship songs are you playing? </p> Redeemedtag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2016-02-04:2592684:Topic:25093462016-02-04T16:59:26.521ZWeizelhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/weizel

<p>I hope I am mistaken, but according to what I am seeing on Facebook, Sam has been involved in a serious fire related accident and is being treated for burns over a good portion of his body.</p>
<p>I don't have any other information about the incident, maybe someone here knows.</p>
<p>Just thought I would pass it along, I am sure he could use your thoughts and prayers.</p>
