INTRO
===========================================================================================
NOTE CONCERNING THE LACK OF GUITAR IN THE INTRO:
The intro doesn't have a guitar, just piano and percussion effects.
However, a song as good as this one can't be played souly on the
guitar without some kind of intro. So I tabbed a guitar intro matching
the notes played by the piano (chord-wise)

NOTE: Very good song by Tait. I think he's almost the best out of the three dc Talk
singers. I still gotta hang with Kevin Max though, you just can't beat his vioce.
I saw Tait Live at Frontier City here in Oklahoma during a Youth Evangalism
Conference (YEC). I haven't heard any of his new stuff before that, and I just
fell in love with this song and 'Numb'. He rounded up a good bad. The guitarist
is about the only member under average, I think. During their concert, Michael
(Tait) introduced the band, and everybody had a wicked awesome solo (Drums, Bass).
The guitarist was the only one who didn't solo, he just played a bunch of
measely power chords (easy,easy,easy). Whatever though. Rate this as soon as
you play it, I need to know my transcripting status. Well... ...ENJOY!!!
