A Blessing in Disguise
from the album "Gift Horse"
(Words and Music by Terry Taylor)

(In the key of B.  Capo 4 and play in G)

Intro: G

C         D              G
How often do we spot the angels?
C           D      G
Or feel the unseen hand?
C              D      Bm        Em
Most times are tough, the going rough
          C                   D
Like there never was a master plan
C               D           G
Those steadfast doors won't open
        C                         D
And you pray...but you don't understand

(CHORUS)
G             D           C
Hold fast the hope that's in you
G            D          C
Don't always trust your eyes
G            D/F#    Em           D
Sometimes it takes a long time to see it as
  C        D  G        (alternate ending, hold C until "disguise", and play a D then)
A Blessing in Disguise

We live upon this dark surface
And God, He moves upon the deep
What is concealed will be revealed
There is no promise He won't keep
Still, we're confused by the shadows
We're awake, but we're half asleep

(REPEAT CHORUS)
.
Em                     Bm
Sometimes the dark can move our hearts
   C                         G
To long for the light of the Son
Em                 Bm
And our ways don't become His ways
C            D
Until we are undone

(REPEAT CHORUS, alternate ending on chorus)

G         D           C
And after you've been broken
G           D  C
You may not realize
G            D/F#         Em     D
That you are grace to the broken hearted
      C        D
And a blessing in...
C          D
A blessing in...
C         D           G
You are a Blessing in Disguise

(End with Ooooo-ing over chorus)
