Chords for Rev. Johnny L. Jones (The Hurricane)- Prayer #1

_ _ _ _ Oh Father, we realize that we are living in a troublesome time.
_ We are living in a world, my [Bb] God, where we need you.
[C] _ _
Why, the [Bb] roads we travel are mighty rough,
_ _ and the hills we got to climb are mighty high.
_ Oh Lord, some of us come this morning with wounded spirits.
_ Some of us come this morning with a bowed down head.
_ Some of us come this morning with tears in our eyes.
_ Why, because some of us have been [Eb] misunderstood,
and _ _ some of us have been [Bb] called everything but a child of God.
_ Oh Father, but we know that you got all power in your hands.
_ Why, we know you got power to destroy, _ _
[C] _ _ but Lord, you will defend.
_ Why, will you throw your long arms of protection around us?
_ _ And will [Bbm] you _ please lead us [Gb] in these testing [Bb] times? _
Why, lead us like you led Abraham.
_ _ [Bbm] Lead us like [Eb] you led Paul and Silas.
[Bb] Oh Father, we're not afraid of this journey. _ _
Why, Father, [Bb] if you will hold our _ hands.
_ Oh _ _ _ _ Lord, _ [Bbm] _ _
[Bb] we're _ [Eb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Bb]
not calling you for a hot side show to the world.
_ Why, but we are calling [Eb] you this [E] morning,
_ [Bbm] _ because you said _ everything [Eb] must bow, _
_ [Bbm] _ and every [Ebm] _ _
tongue must [Bb] confess.
_ _ [Ab] Now _
_ _ _ [Bbm] Lord, _ _ _ now, [Eb] now, now, now Lord,
_ [Bbm]
when it's all over, _ _ _
when we must go in arms, _ _ _
when _ we [D] must pray for [Eb] dying _ _ pilgrims, _ [Bb] over _ _ yonder. _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] Over [Bbm] yonder. _ _
_ Over yonder. _ _ _ _
_ Where we won't need in [E] the light of the city.
[Bb] _ _ Lord, Lord, [Eb] _ _
Lord, for thou shalt light [Bb] that city. _
_ Over yonder.
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
[Ab] Where they tell us there'll tree [Bb] of life, oh yeah.
[Ab] _ _ And we can take a leaf off that tree.
_ And we can heal our wounded soul.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C]
Give us a home, [Bb] Father.
_ In thy name do we pray.
_ _ Amen and thank [Bbm] God.
