Del McCoury Band - Recovering pharisee

^GI’m a Pharisee, in recovery. With new eyes I can see, a big sinner in me It’s the way ^Cof my human heart ^G to c^Confess other people’s sins. ^D7 Re^Cluctant to admit my part ^G or the deepe^Ar problem within. ^D7 But thank God He w^Con’t let me be ^G or r^Cemain in my hypocrisy. ^{D7 C}Sooner or later I’ll be on my knees, ^{G A}honest to God a recovering Pharis^D7ee ^G

^GI’m a sinner and a saint, simul-tan-e-ously. I’m not what I was, or what I’m goin’ to be Still I’ve got t^Chat ol’ tendency ^G to be all ^Ca wicked man can be. ^D7 It takes more ^Cthan knowin’ right from wrong. ^G It takes more ^Athan singin’ gospel songs. ^D7 It takes the life of ^Cthe Great I Am ^G to pro-duce ^Cany good in me ^D7 He’s the vine. I^C’m the branch. And I’m learning to be ^{G A}honest to God a recovering Pharise^D7e ^G

I don’t have^C to be a slave to sin. ^G I don’t have ^Cto let the devil win. ^D7 Cause the son of God^C lives in me ^G and His promise ^Ais to set me free. ^{D7 C}Jesus help my unbelief ^G so I can follow^C you faithfully. ^D7 You’re the shepherd.^C I’m the sheep and you’re helping me be ^{G A}honest to God a recovering Pharis^D7ee ^G
