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

A5

Verse 1:
A5
 Clung   to a ball
         A5         A5
That was hung  in the sky
  C#5
Hurled into orbit
 F#5    E5  D5
There you are
A5
 Wheth-  er you fall down
               A5
Or whether you fly
 C#5                F#5  E5  D5
Seems you can never get too far
E5  E5 (is that E7?)    A5          D5
   Some- one's waiting  to  put wings
A5    D5                E5   E5  E5  E5  Bm7(4)
     Up-on your flightless heart

Chorus:
A5                              D5
     You're on the verge of a mir- a- cle
      G5    D5    G5
Just stand-ing there
Bm7(4)  A5                            D5
Oh        you're on the verge of a mir- a- cle
      G5               Bm7(4)
Just wait-ing to be be-lieved in
A5               D5
Open your eyes and see
E5                           A5
  You're on the verge of a mir-   a-   cle

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

Bridge:
Bm7(4)          A5
    When you've played out your last chance
D5              E5                E5        Bm7(4)
    And your di- rec- tions have all been lost
                             A5                 D5
When the roads that you look down are all dead ends
                   B5       A5       D5
Look up, you could see if you'd just look  up
 Bm7(4)   A5        D5        G5   D5   G5
[  /   /   /   /  ][   /   /   /         /   ]
 Bm7(4)   A5       Dmaj9?    G5   D5   G5
[  /   /   /   /  ][   /   /   /         /   ]

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
You're on the verge of a miracle
