THE LORD'S WORK

Composed by Paul Michael
Inspired from "Another Holy Ghost Story" by Father David

Intro:
(C)-(G)-(D)-(G)
(C)-(G)-(D)-(G)

The (G)Lord had a job for me
And I (D)had so much to (G)do.
(C)I said, "You get (G)somebody else,
Or (D)wait till I get through."
I (G)don't know how the Lord came out,
But He (D)seemed to get a(G)long,
But I (C)felt kinda (G)sneakin' like
'Cause I (D)know I'd done Him (G)wrong.

(C)-(G)-(D)-(G)

(C)Doo doo doo doo,
(G)doo doo doo doo doo doo,
(D)Doo doo doo doo doo doo (G)doo.

(G#)Then one day I needed the Lord,
And I (D#)needed Him right a(G#)way,
But (C#)way down in my ac(G#)cusin' heart
(D#)I could hear Him say,
"I'm (G#)sorry, boy, but you know that I've
(D#)Got too much to (G#)do,
(C#)You just find some(G#)body else
Or (D#)wait till I get (G#)through."

(C#)Doo doo doo doo,
(G#)doo doo doo doo doo doo,
(D#)Doo doo doo doo doo doo,
(G#)doo doo doo doo.

(C#)Doo doo doo doo,
(G#)doo doo doo doo doo doo,
(D#)Doo doo doo doo doo doo (G#)doo.

(A)Then the thought came to me:
What (E)if I had to (A)go,
And (D)stand before the (A)judgement seat,
How (E)could I face the Lord?
Now (A)when the Lord has a job for me,
I (E)never try to (A)shirk.
I (D)lay down what I (A)have on hand,
And I (E)do the good Lord's (A)work.
I (D)lay down what I (A)have on hand,
And I (E)do the good Lord's (A)work.
I (D)lay down what I (A)have on hand,
And I (E)do the good Lord's (A)work.
(D)-(A)-(E)-(A)

(D)Doo doo doo doo,
(A)doo doo doo doo doo doo,
(E)Doo doo doo doo doo doo (A)doo.
[Repeat]
