Don Francisco – Jehoshaphat chords

[Verse 1]
       ENow, Jehoshaphat's king in Jerusalem
  A              EA long long time ago

When the children o' Judah
EAll worshipped the Lord
         BFrom the high on down to the low

    EAnd Judah was a wealthy kingdom
A                         EEverybody's children were fed

Cuz Jehoshaphat studied the word of the Lord
    B                 EAnd did everything He said


[Verse 2]
    FBut out of the east came an army one day
Bb                  FAfter Jehoshaphat's gold

They were marchin' right straight to Jerusalem
    CAnd Jehoshaphat soon was told

      FSo he called all the people together
    Bb                   FAnd everybody fasted and prayed

The Lord God answered the people and said
        C                      FThere's no need--for you to be afraid


[Verse 3]
          F#Cause the battle is Mine tomorrow
         B                      F#It's not yours and it's not the king's

And all you gotta do is just stand and watch
   C#To see the Salvation I bring

       F#Just believe that what I've told ya
     B                    F#Is exactly what I'm gonna do

And go out tomorrow against them now
          C#                     F#Cause the Lord's gonna fight for you

Great jumpin' Jehoshaphat!


[Verse 4]
          GWell, the army rose early next mornin'
     C                       GThey marched on out with the king

Jehoshaphat chose some singers
    DAnd told those singers to sing

         GAnd they praised the beauty of holiness
  C                              GInstead of shoutin' out a battle cry

And all the way down to the enemy's camp
     D                   GThey sang to the Lord on high

And they were singin...


[Chorus]
GPraise ye the Lord
    C                GHis mercy endures forever and ever

Praise ye the Lord
    DHis mercy endures forever and ever

GPraise ye the Lord
    C                GHis mercy endures forever and ever

Praise ye the Lord our God
    D                 GHis mercy, will never end


[Verse 5]
          G#Well, the Lord God set up an ambush
        C#               G#Got the enemy all turned around

Got into killin' each other ya know
          D#Till they all lay dead on the ground

        G#And the riches and the jewels they left behind
         C#                  G#Took 'em three whole days to haul

The children o' Judah all praised the Lord
         D#                 G#Cause He saved them one and all

They were singin...


[Chorus]
G#Praise ye the Lord
    C#               G#His mercy endures forever and ever

Praise ye the Lord
    D#His mercy endures forever and ever

G#Praise ye the Lord
    C#               G#His mercy endures forever and ever

Praise ye the Lord our God
    D#                G#His mercy, will never end


[Verse 6]
       AIf the parallel ain't real obvious now
     D                      AI'll spell it right out for you

When you see trouble comin' to rip you off
       EHere's all that you need to do

     AJust pray to your Heavenly Father
      D                      AAnd believe that His word is true

And step out and shout the Salvation of God
            E                   ACause He'll win that battle for you


[Chorus]
APraise ye the Lord
    D                AHis mercy endures forever and ever

Praise ye the Lord
    EHis mercy endures forever and ever

APraise ye the Lord
    D                AHis mercy endures forever and ever

Praise ye the Lord our God
    E                 AHis mercy, will never end

APraise ye the Lord
    D                AHis mercy endures forever and ever

Praise ye the Lord
    EHis mercy endures forever and ever

APraise ye the Lord
    D                AHis mercy endures forever and ever

Praise ye the Lord our God
    E                 AHis mercy, will never end

APraise ye the Lord
    D                AHis mercy endures forever and ever

Praise ye the Lord
    EHis mercy endures forever----
