[A] I have a little story I want to [D] tell you.
We're not [F#m] going to prolong the time,
[Am] but [D]
[A] somebody here got [D]
something to [A] thank the Lord for.
[D]
[A] Can I get a witness here?
[D]
[A] One [D]
[A] day, there was a rich [D] man [F#] [A] was [D]
[A] standing in the window
on the eighth floor.
[D]
[A] [Gm] He was contemplating [A] death.
His heart was troubled.
While he was looking downstairs, [D] he
saw [Am] an old raggedy man [D] [A] singing [D]
[A] an union out of a garbage [D] can.
[A] [D] And as he looked [A] at him, he said, well,
I [D]
[A] believe I'll go down [D] here and [A] just talk to [D] him.
[A] [D] And [A] he made his way downstairs.
[D] When he got [A] downstairs, he looked at the old [D] raggedy man
and said, [A] how can you sing [D] with [A] a smile on [D] your face
[A] and having to eat out [D] of a garbage [Am] can?
[D]
He said, you see me.
[A] [D] He said, I'm [Am] rich.
[D] [A] [D] And I got [E] everything.
[D] I got [A] money [D] and fine clothes to [Am] wear.
[D]
[A] He said, what is it, now, [D]
that you [A] got I don't have?
[D] [A] The poor man looked up and said these words.
[D]
[A] There
[D] [A] is [D] nothing [A] [D] as precious [A] as [D]
Jesus to me.
[Am] Let [D] death [A] and richness [E] be [F] gone.
[E] I'm [A] [D]
happy [A] as can be with [Am] my Savior, [D] Lord, I see.
[A] I am happy [E] with Jesus, [D] [A] Lord.
He looked [D] at him and said, [A]
[E] [D] I [A] am happy [E] with Jesus, [A] Lord.
[D]
The rich man [A] stood there and listened [D] to him.
[A] He said, [D]
[A] [D] I wonder if you [A] mind.
[D] He began to [A] feel good.
[D] He said, I wonder [E] if you [D] mind if I say [A] that just one time.
[D]
[A] The poor man looked at [D] him and said, I dare [A] you.
He said, I dare you to try [D] that.
[A] [D] The rich man [D#] said, [A] [D]
[A] there is [D] nothing [A] as [D] precious.
He [A] said, am I doing right?
He said, you're [Am] doing it.
[Bm] You're doing pretty good.
[D]
Let death and richness [A] [E] be gone.
[F] Oh, [E] yeah.
I [A] am happy as can be with [D] my Savior, Lord, I see.
I [A] am happy [E] with Jesus, [A] Lord.
Hey, wait a [D] minute.
Wait a minute.
[C#m] [D]
[A] [D]
We talk all [A] the time.
[D]
What [A] is good or bad.
[D] But I know [A] what the Lord has done for you.
[D] Oh, yes!
[A] We don't have no secrets from each other.
But I wonder if you mind just expressing [D] yourself just a [A] little bit.
You know, [D] I used to [A] sing because I [D] love singing.
[A] But you know, now, I sing because [D]
[A] I know what I'm singing [D] about.
Y'all hear me?
Let me tell you something.
[A] I have to say the [D] same thing you [A] say. Listen.
[D]
The heaven is precious [A] as [Am]
[D] Jesus means.
[A] Let the [D]
hurt [A] and the richness, let it all [E] be gone.
[F] You [E] know what I'm saying?
I'm [Am] happy.
[D]
[A] I'm happy.
If I can [D]
[A] be with [Am] my [D] Savior, Lord I see.
[A] Yes I am happy [E] with Jesus.
[D] [A] Would you [D] say that again?
[A] Yes I
[D] am [A]
happy [E] with Jesus.
[A] Somebody else here [D] feel the way [A] I do.
Y'all would [Bm] join me.
[A] I'm happy with [E] Jesus.
Come here man.
[A] Come here.
[D] [A]
[Bm] [A] I'm happy [E] with Jesus.
[A] I know you got a [D] testimony.
[A] I don't need nobody [Bm] else.
I [E] am happy with Jesus.
[A] Jesus Lord.
I [D] am [A]
[Bm] [A] happy.
Happy.
Happy [E] with Jesus. Oh [A] Lord.
Yes.
[D] With [A] this my mind.
[D] You can [A] see how much.
[E] Happy with Jesus.
[A]
Oh Lord.
