_ _ [E] Now Jehoshaphat was king in Jerusalem [A] a long, long [E] time ago
When the children of Judah all worshipped the Lord [B] from the high on down to the low
[E] Judah was a wealthy kingdom, [A]
everybody's [E] children were fed
Because Jehoshaphat studied the word of the [B] Lord and did everything [E] he said
[F] But out of the east came an army one [Bb] day after [F] Jehoshaphat's goal
They were marching right straight to Jerusalem [C] and Jehoshaphat soon was told
[F] So he called all the people together [Bb] and everybody [F] fasted and prayed
The Lord God answered the people and said, [C] there's no need for you to [F] be afraid
_ [Gb] Because the battle is mine tomorrow, [B] it's not yours and it's [Gb] not the king's
And all you gotta do is just stand and [Db] watch to see the salvation I bring
[Gb] Just believe that what I've told you [B] is exactly what [Gb] I'm gonna do
Go out tomorrow against them now [Db] because the Lord's gonna [Gb] fight for you
Great jumping Jehoshaphat
[G] Well the army rose early next morning, [C] they marched on [G] out with the king
Jehoshaphat chose some singers [D] and he told those singers to sing
[G] And they praised the beauty of holiness [C] instead of shouting out a [G] battle cry
And all the way down to the enemy's [D] camp they sang to the [G] Lord on high
They were singing, praise ye the Lord, [C] his mercy [G] endures forever and ever
Praise ye the Lord, [A] his mercy [D] endures forever and [G] ever
Praise ye the Lord, [C] his mercy [G] endures forever and ever
Praise ye the Lord our [F] God, his mercy will [G] never end
_ [Ab] Well the Lord God set up an ambush, [Bb] got the enemy all turned around
[Ab] They started into killing each other you [Eb] know, till they all laid dead on the ground
[Ab] And the riches and the jewels that they left [Db] behind, they took them three whole [Ab] days to haul
The children of Judah all praised the Lord [Eb] cause he saved them one and [Ab] all
They were singing, praise ye the Lord, [Db] his mercy [Ab] endures forever and ever
Praise ye the Lord, [Bb] his mercy [Eb] endures forever and [Ab] ever
Praise ye the Lord, [Db] his mercy endures forever and ever
Praise ye the Lord our [Gb] God, his mercy will [Ab] never end
_ [A] Well if the parallel's not real obvious [D] now, I'll spell it right [A] out for you
When you see trouble coming to rip you [E] off, here's all that you need to do
[A] Just pray to your heavenly Father [D] and believe that his [A] word's true
And then step out and shout the salvation of God [E] cause he'll win that battle [A] for you
Praise ye the Lord, [D] his mercy endures [A] forever and ever
Praise ye the Lord, [B] his mercy [E] endures forever and [A] ever
Praise ye the Lord, [D] his mercy [A] endures forever and ever
Praise ye the Lord our God, [G] his mercy [E] will [A] never end
Praise ye the Lord, [D] his mercy endures [A] forever and ever
Praise ye the Lord, [B] his mercy endures [E] forever and ever
[A] Praise ye the Lord, [D] his mercy endures [A] forever and ever
Praise ye the Lord our God, [G] his mercy [Em] will never [A] end
Praise ye the Lord, [D] his mercy endures [A] forever and ever
