[Verse 1]
Now, JeEhoshaphat's king in Jerusalem
A Along long time Eago
When the children o' Judah
EAll worshipped the Lord
From the Bhigh on down to the low
And EJudah was a wealthy kingdom
AEverybody's children were Efed
Cuz Jehoshaphat studied the word of the Lord
And Bdid everything He Esaid
[Verse 2]
But Fout of the east came an army one day
BbAfter Jehoshaphat's Fgold
They were marchin' right straight to Jerusalem
And CJehoshaphat soon was told
So he Fcalled all the people together
And Bbeverybody fasted and Fprayed
The Lord God answered the people and said
There's Cno need--for you to be Fafraid
[Verse 3]
Cause the F#battle is Mine tomorrow
It's not Byours and it's not the F#king's
And all you gotta do is just stand and watch
To C#see the Salvation I bring
Just beF#lieve that what I've told ya
Is exBactly what I'm gonna F#do
And go out tomorrow against them now
Cause the C#Lord's gonna fight for F#you
Great jumpin' Jehoshaphat!
[Verse 4]
Well, the Garmy rose early next mornin'
They Cmarched on out with the Gking
Jehoshaphat chose some singers
And Dtold those singers to sing
And they Gpraised the beauty of holiness
InCstead of shoutin' out a battle Gcry
And all the way down to the enemy's camp
They Dsang to the Lord on Ghigh
And they were singin...
[Chorus]
GPraise ye the Lord
His Cmercy endures forGever and ever
Praise ye the Lord
His Amercy endures forDever and ever
GPraise ye the Lord
His Cmercy endures forGever and ever
Praise ye the Lord our God
His Fmercy, will never Gend
[Verse 5]
Well, the G#Lord God set up an ambush
Got the C#enemy all turned G#around
Got into killin' each other ya know
Till they D#all lay dead on the ground
And the G#riches and the jewels they left behind
Took 'em C#three whole days to G#haul
The children o' Judah all praised the Lord
Cause He D#saved them one and G#all
They were singin...
[Chorus]
G#Praise ye the Lord
His C#mercy endures forG#ever and ever
Praise ye the Lord
His A#mercy endures forD#ever and ever
G#Praise ye the Lord

Cuz Jehoshaphat studied the word of the Lord

But out of the east came an army one day

After Jehoshaphat's gold

They were marchin' right straight to Jerusalem

And Jehoshaphat soon was told

So he called all the people together

The Lord God answered the people and said
