The Lord's True Fasting (inspired by Isaiah 58) by k o'k 2000 for Ash Wed

think 2/4 sing along, but 4/4 guitar strum!  folksy, upbeat, in the key of A ...sing along eveybody! i'll try to record and upload eventually hopefully the chords are placed properly...

 Chorus:  (A) It's a time of  (E) prayer, a (A) time to  (D) share
in the (A) grace of our Lord ever (E) lasting.
(A) A time to give (E) pause to that (F#m) nobel (D) cause
and ask (A)what is the (E)Lord's true  (A) fasting? (A7)

1)

 Should i (D) don myself in ashes and (A) fast for 40 days?
Shall (E) penitence and abstinence (A) mend my evil ways? (A7)
(D) Expecting some reward, lift offerings up to the Lord?
Make (C) sacrifice for (G) all the world to (D-E)see?

(A)or one kind (E)deed performed in (F#m)quiet humili(D)ty...now (A) this is the (E) Lord's true (A) fasting.

Chorus

2)

Not to use more than we need
Think of the millions we could feed
A little heaven here on earth
how much would that be worth?
For the weary traveler a place of rest,
to loose the yoke of the oppressed!
Let all the nations sing in harmony....

or to feed a hungry child and turn tears into a smile...now this is the Lord's true fasting.
