Don Francisco - Jehoshaphat lyrics

Now, Jehoshaphat's king in Jerusalem A long long time ago When the children o' Judah All worshipped the Lord, From the high on down to the low And Judah was a wealthy kingdom Everybody's children were fed Cuz Jehoshaphat studied the word of the Lord And did everything He said 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 And everybody fasted and prayed The Lord God answered the people and said There's no need--for you to be afraid Cause the battle is Mine tomorrow It's not yours and it's not the king's And all you gotta do is just stand and watch To see the Salvation I bring Just believe that what I've told ya Is exactly what I'm gonna do And go out tomorrow against them now Cause the Lord's gonna fight for you Great jumpin' Jehoshaphat! Well, the army rose early next mornin' They marched on out with the king Jehoshaphat chose some singers And told those singers to sing And they praised the beauty of holiness Instead of shoutin' out a battle cry And all the way down to the enemy's camp They sang to the Lord on high And they were singin... Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord our God His mercy, will never end Well, the Lord God set up an ambush Got the enemy all turned around And they started into k**in' each other ya know Till they all lay dead on the ground And the riches and the j**els they left behind Took 'em three whole days to haul The children o' Judah all praised the Lord Cause He saved them one and all They were singin... Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord our God His mercy, will never end If the parallel ain't 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 Just pray to your Heavenly Father And believe that His word is true And step out and shout the Salvation of God Cause He'll win that battle for you Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord our God His mercy, will never end Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord our God His mercy, will never end Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever and ever Praise ye the Lord His mercy endures forever
