Jehoshaphat

       E
Now, Jehoshaphat's king in Jerusalem
  A              E
A long long time ago
When the children o' Judah
E
All worshipped the Lord
         B
From the high on down to the low
    E
And Judah was a wealthy kingdom
A                         E
Everybody's children were fed
Cuz Jehoshaphat studied the word of the Lord
    B                 E
And did everything He said

    F
But out of the east came an army one day
Bb                  F
After Jehoshaphat's gold
They were marchin' right straight to Jerusalem
    C
And Jehoshaphat soon was told
      F
So he called all the people together
    Bb                   F
And everybody fasted and prayed
The Lord God answered the people and said
        C                      F
There's no need--for you to be afraid

          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!

          G
Well, the army rose early next mornin'
     C                       G
They marched on out with the king
Jehoshaphat chose some singers
    D
And told those singers to sing
         G
And they praised the beauty of holiness
  C                              G
Instead of shoutin' out a battle cry
And all the way down to the enemy's camp
     D                   G
They sang to the Lord on high
And they were singin...

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
    F                 G
His mercy, will never end

          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...

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
    F#                G#
His mercy, will never end

       A
If the parallel ain't real obvious now
     D                      A
I'll spell it right out for you
When you see trouble comin' to rip you off
       E
Here's all that you need to do
     A
Just pray to your Heavenly Father
      D                      A
And believe that His word is true
And step out and shout the Salvation of God
            E                   A
Cause He'll win that battle for you
