Verge of a Miracle



Transposed by Kevin Paddock. This, one of my favorite Rich Mullins songs, was recorded
in C# and not with the guitar in mind, mind you. But you can get a great sound emulating
the Rhodes with the guitar capoed 4; play the A position. Adjust the capo to your vocal 
range, but at least try it at 4 in order to play along with the recording.

CAPO 4

Verse 2:
Here in your room
Where nobody can see
Voices are loud
But seldom clear
But beneath the confusion
That's running so deep
There is a promise you must hear
The love that seems so far away
Is standing very near

Repeat Chorus:
You're on the verge of a miracle
Standing there
Oh you're on the verge of a miracle
Just waiting to be believed in
Open your eyes and see
