Wow! It's been over 5 years since I wrote this chord chart. I wrote it before the song was famous. I think I wrote it from a studio video that she put out online where she interviewed with a DJ and played it or something like that which was why there was such a discrepancy from the album version. It was one of my first chord charts, so I was just learning to write them with a limited knowledge of chords, especially "kind guitar chords." I didn't realize that others who viewed this chart could edit it! After tons of others editing it, I would certainly love to know what the original chart looked like:) I've gone to churches many times and heard instrumentalists and singers sing and play this song and wondered if they looked at this chord chart since it has been viewed almost a million times! Since that day, being a high school math teacher, I've changed schools twice and have had 4 grand children! I've gotten remarried to a wonderful Christian woman, bought two new guitars (a Taylor and a Cordoba), and gave 'that' guitar to my niece who is going to a Christian College in Houston. God is so good! I hope that all of you who have used this chord chart in blessing the Lord have been able to minister and worship in a way that is pleasing our God! Amen:)
