Revelation 19:1 Chords by The New Jerusalem Baptist Church Choir

[Db] For so many years [Gb] we _ [Ebm] _
[Ab] were taught [Ebm] _ [F] to [Bbm] stay away from the book of Revelation.
[Ebm] _ [Db] We [Eb] _ _
[Ab] were taught to [Db] be afraid [Ab] of it. _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Gb] But the Bible says _
[Ab] in Revelation [F] chapter [Fm] 1 and verse [Ebm] 3, [Bbm] _ [Db] _ [Ebm] blessed is he [Db] [G] that _
[Ab] readeth this [Db] book and [Db] those that hear the words [Gb] of this prophecy. _ _
[Ab] _ [Gb] John said I [F] was cast _ [Bbm] out on an isle called [Ebm] Patmos.
[Db] _ [Ebm] _ [Bbm]
[Ab] He said I was out there for [Db] the word of God _ [Fm] _
[Db] and the testimony [Gb] of Jesus Christ. _ _
[Ab] And he said I was in the [F] spirit _ _
[Bbm] on the Lord's [Ebm] way.
_ [Db] _ [Ebm] _ [Eb] _
[Ab] I heard [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] a voice [Db] say get up John.
_ [Gb] _ I am he [Ab] that was [Gb] dead _ [F] but I am alive [Bbm] forevermore.
And [Ebm] _ _ [Db] _ [Ebm] _ [Eb] _
[Ab] who made [Db] the beginning [Ab] happy [Db] end.
_ And [Gb] John began to talk as _
[Ab] he was lifted [Gb] and [F] carried out in the spirit. _
[Db] _ But we [Ebm] want tonight for [Bbm] you to go [Ab] with us as the curtain [Db] rises _ [Ab] in the [Db] 19th chapter _ [Gb] of the book of [Ebm] Revelation. _
[Ab] _ _ [Gb] The [F] beloved disciple [A] John [Bbm] _ _ [Db] [Ebm] makes an effort [Db] [Ebm] to [Bbm]
[Ab] describe the most magnificent [Db] praise gathering [Ab] that the [Db] world has ever known.
[Gb] As _ we view [Ab] this book _ [Gb] we [F] see two outstanding [Bbm] occurrences _ [Ebm] that happen here in [Gb] this [Ab] 19th chapter.
_ _ [Db] What is [Ab] it that prompts [Db] this crescendo of [Ebm] praise up before God? _
[Ab] _ The [Gb] first [F] is the marriage supper of the [Bbm] Lamb.
[Db] It [Ebm] takes place in heaven.
_ _ [Eb]
[Ab] And the second is the [Db] return to the earth of the [Ab] Lord Jesus _
[Db] with the armies of [Gb] heaven and the redeemed.
[Ab] And this will bring an [F] end, O [Bbm] God, to the battle of [Ebm] Armageddon and [Bbm] the rule of the [Ab] Antichrist and the false [Db] prophet.
But [Ab] chapter 19 [Db] opens by saying [Gb] after these things.
[Ab] _
_ What [F] things?
The cry goes [Bbm] up Babylon his [Ebm] father.
_ Hallelujah.
[Ab] The marriage supper [Db] of the Lamb could not [Ab] take _ [Db] _
until mythical [Gb] Babylon the head of the world [Ab] church is [C] overthrown.
[F] It is then that the [Db] glorious hallelujah [Ebm] chorus wells up in praise before [Ab] the most high God.
And [Db] John said I heard the [Ab] voice _ [Db] as the voice of a [Gb] great multitude and the [Ab] voice of many waters.
[F] And the voice of mighty thundering saying [Bbm] hallelujah [Db] for [Ebm] the Lord [Db] _ [Ebm] _ [Eb] [Ab] he reigneth forever.
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] We can rejoice that [Gb] when this future event happens, we'll [Ab] all be there.
We will [F] not be going through tribulations [Bbm] and hard times and [Ebm] burn of that.
We will be [Bbm] there [Ab] for they cannot [Db] crown _ _ [Fm] _ [C] [Db] on a stand and [Gb] say _ _ _ [Ab] _ salvation and [F] glory.
_ [C] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[Ebm] _ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Ebm] _
[Db] Amen.
