Rescue The Perishing Chords & Tabs
Rescue The Perishing Chords
This is my second tab, hope you're blessed by it. Its lyrics are very challenging,
both to the performer and the listener. Fun fact: this song is actually based on
"Rescue the Perishing" by Fanny J. Crosby, a 1869 hymn. I made this because
I could not find the chords for this song anywhere. I was only able to find the
first two chords and sounded the rest out. Therefore, it's very possible that
there are mistakes, I welcome good corrections.
Please leave comments/suggestions/rude comments at the bottom.
