E                               B7              E 
■ Well with everybody tryin' to tell us what to do
                          B               E  A    E
You wonder how are you to know whose word is true ■
        A                       E                         F#

And from St Paul to Billy Graham the same is heard
        E                B     B7 B B7    E   
And the preacher said of truth ■  ■ Jesus said
                                         E

Well we can see that the world is full of greed
                     B               E    A    E
There's so much hate yet there is so much need ■
A                      E               F#  
What should we do when no one seems to care


[Chorus]
                                B         
What can we do when there is no love there
             E                B    B7       E   
And then the preacher said of love ■  Jesus said
E                                       
Jesus said Love thy neighbour as thyself

In such confusion ■ how are we to know ■ ■

             E                B            E   
And then the preacher said of heaven Jesus said
E                                                                
Jesus said Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness
        B            E                      
And all these things shall be added unto you
                    B      B7       E    
Well please tell us how we can find a way
                        B                  E   A E
To climb every mountain that we face every day ■ ■
       A               E              F#  
And in time of trouble what to depend upon

To be the truth and help us carry on
        E                B       B7       E   
And the preacher said of trouble ■  Jesus said


[Chorus]
E                                        
Jesus said Let not your heart be troubled
                                      A 
If you believe in God believe also in me
      A                               
In my father's house are many mansions
               A                       
If it were not so I would have told you
D                              
I go to prepare a place for you
                                        A         
And if I prepare a place for you I will come again
                     A     
And receive you unto myself
E                                    
That where I am there you may be also
