Now That I Have Accepted Your Love 
Recorded by Red Steagall
Written by Richard O'Brien and Red Steagall 
[3/4 time]

G
I know that I haven’t been living 
                           D7
The way that you wanted me to

Though I’ve been taught to stand and be my own man
                               G
The thing that was missing was You

         C
Now I’ve never been real good at praying
                         G
I reckon I’ve been sorta wild
       C                              G        Em
But it all changed this year when the baby got here
        C        D7            G
And the moment I first held my child


Another thing changed my direction
                           D7
Took me off the pathway to hell

When the two year old black broke McCaferty’s back
                               G
And He ask You to help him get well

       C
Well I saw him this week at the feed store
                               G
He was walking and well on the mend
   C                         G         Em
He says he believes it’s the help he received
     C           D7             G
From You and the prayers of his friends

                           
Now each morning has a new meaning
                             D7
All the world has a heavenly glow

And I marvel each spring as the grass turns to green
                                  G
When You’ve melted its blanket of snow

      C
And tonight as I lay on my bedroll 
                        G
And gaze at the heavens above
       C                           G         Em
I hope my name is praised when You tally the strays
    C           D7            G
Now that I have accepted Your love

Repeat last verse   Yes tonight…
