Now Jehoshaphat was King in Jerusalem a long long time
ago
When the children of Judah all worshiped the Lord from
the high on down to the low
And Judah was a wealthy kingdom Everybody's children were
fed
Because Jehoshaphat studied the Word of the Lord and
did everything He said
But out the east came an army one day after
Jehoshaphat's gold
And they were marching right straight to Jerusalem and
Jehoshaphat soon was told
So he called all the people together and everyone
fasted and prayed
The Lord God answered the people and He said there's no
need for you to be afraid
Because the battle is mine tomorrow, it's not yours and
it's not the kings
And all you've got to do is just stand and watch to see
the salvation I bring
Just believe that what I told you is exactly what I'm
going to do
And go out tomorrow against them because the Lord's
gonna fight for you
Great jumpin' Jehoshaphat
The army rose early next morning marched on out with
the king
Jehoshaphat chose some singers, he told them singers to
sing
And they praised the beauty of holiness instead of
shouting out a battle cry
And all the way down to the enemies' camp they sang to
the Lord on high
They were singing Praise ye the Lord for His mercy
endures forever and ever
Praise ye the Lord for His mercy endures forever and
ever
Praise ye the Lord for His mercy endures forever and
ever
Praise ye the Lord our God His mercy will never end
The Lord God set up an ambush He got the enemy all
turned around
And they started killing each other you know till they
all lay dead on the ground
And the riches and the jewels that they left behind it
took them three whole days to haul
The children of Judah all praised the Lord because He
saved them one and all
They were singing Praise ye the Lord for His mercy
endures forever and ever
Praise ye the Lord for His mercy endures forever and
ever
Praise ye the Lord for His mercy endures forever and
ever
Praise ye the Lord our God His mercy will never end
If the parallel's not real obvious now I'll spell it right
out for you
When you see trouble comin' to rip you off here's all
that you need to do
Pray to your heavenly father and believe that His Word
is true
And then step out and shout the salvation of God
because He'll win that battle for you
And praise ye the Lord for His mercy endures forever
and ever
Praise ye the Lord for His mercy endures forever and
ever
Praise ye the Lord for His mercy endures forever and
ever
Praise ye the Lord our God His mercy will never end
It will never end!
Praise ye the Lord for His mercy endures forever and
ever
Praise ye the Lord for His mercy endures forever and
ever
Praise ye the Lord for His mercy endures forever and
ever
Praise ye the Lord our God His mercy will never end
