First Family
Rich Mullins
Psalm 127 and 128/Proverbs 31:10-31
D G/D A/D D
My folks they were always the first family to arrive
Em7sus D/F# G2 A7sus A7
With seven people jammed into a car that seated five
D G/D A/D D
There was one bathroom to bathe and shave in, six of us stood in line
Em7sus D/F# G2 A7sus
And hot water for only three but we all did just fine
Chorus:
G2 D/F# Em7 A7 D Em7sus D/F#
Talk about your miracles, talk about your faith
G D/F# E7sus E7 A7sus A7
My dad he could make things grow out of Indiana clay
G2 D/F# Em7 A Bm
Mom could make a gourmet meal out of just cornbread and beans
Em7 D2/F#
And they worked to give faith hands and feet
G A7sus D Dsus (G/D D2/A A7)
And somehow gave it wings
I can still hear my dad cussin', he's working late out in the barn
The spring planting's a coming and the tractors just won't run
Mom she's done the laundry, I can see it waving on the line
Now they've stayed together through the pain, the strain of those times
CHORUS
D/C# Bm F#m G D F#m/C#
And now they've raised five children, one winter they lost a son
Bm F#m
But the pain didn't leave them crippled
Em7 E7/G# A7sus A7
And the scars have made them strong
G D/F# Em7 A7 Bm
Never picture perfect, just a plain man and his wife
Em7 D2/F# G2 Em A7sus G/A A
Who somehow knew the value of hard work, good love, and real life
CHORUS
D G/D A/D D
