Key: B^b

Verse I:

B^b

Without a sound God’s children marched

   E^b                           B^b

Around Jericho six days

                                                                                       G^m

But on the seventh morn’, Joshua said “Blow your horn

        C⁷                          F

And lift your voice in praise

                B^b

And as a song of triumph began to ring

                E^b                  C⁷/E

On the seventh time around

               E^b                    C⁷/E 

Well the rocks started crumblin’

               B^b/F               G⁷

And the walls started tumblin’

            C^m                 F                  B^b

As the power of the Lord came down

Chorus:

B^b

Sing ‘till the power of the Lord comes down

                                            C                   F

Sing ‘till the power of the Lord comes down

Lift up your head; don’t be afraid

G^m                            G⁷

Lift up your head; don’t be afraid

C^m     B^b/D    C^m/E^b            B^b/F  F⁷        B^b

Sing ‘till the power of the Lord comes down

Verse II:

B^b

Paul and Silas in a Roman jail

   E^b                           B^b

Seemed all hope was gone

                                                                                       G^m

But though their hands were tied, and their feet bound

        C⁷                          F

Still they had a song

                B^b

So at the midnight hour, when they began to sing

                E^b                  C⁷/E

They heard a rumblin’ sound

                E^b                  C⁷/E

The earth started shakin’

And their chains started breakin’

            C^m                 F                  B^b

As the power of the Lord came down

Verse III:

B^b

Now when you’ve found yourself in a valley low

   E^b                           B^b

And it seems you can’t go through

Well the same God that rocked the jail long ago

                                   G^m

Can do the same for you

                    B^b

So lift your voice and let a song of faith ring out

And watch the walls come tumblin’ down

E^b               C⁷/E

Yes, it’s amazin’

E^b                      C⁷/E

When we start praisin’

            C^m                 F                  B^b

The power of the Lord comes down
