Jehoshaphat chords by Don Francisco

Verse 1:

       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


Verse 2:

    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


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:

          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...


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 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:

       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

His mercy, will never end
