[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Jesus was a man
who [G]traveled across the [D]land
[A]A h[D]ard -[A]wor[D]king man,
[A]and he was brave
He [D]said to the rich,
give [A]your money [D]to [G]the poo[D]r,
[A]so [D]we [A]lai[D]d Jesus Chr[A]ist
in his [D]grave.[A][D]
The people of the land,
they took Je[G]sus to their [D]hearts,
and they believed every
word he [A]said.[D][A]
[D]He said, I don't come to bring you peace,
I come [G]to give you a [D]sword,
and we laid Jesus [A]Christ in his [D]grave.
He went to the sick.
He went to those [G]who we des[D]pised.
He went [A]to [D]the [A]hungry,
the homeless,
and the lame.
[D]An d he said to them all,
one day [G]you will [A]win [G]this [D]world.
And we laid Jesus [A]Christ
in his [D]grave.[A][D]
He went to the preachers.
[G]He went to the po[D]lice,
[A]he [D]told them all the sam[A]e
He said, sell all your [D]jewelry,
give it [A]to those who are in [D]need
And we laid Jesus [A]Christ
in his [D]grave[A][D]
There [A]was a [D]young [A]man who [D]was wealthy,
he [A]came to Jesus Christ one night
He [D]said, Master,
what must I do to be [A]saved?
He [D]said, You must sell
everything you've got.
It's [A]the one [G]thing that you [D]lack.
And [A]we [D]laid Jesus [A]Christ in his [D]grave.[A]
Je[D]sus [A]was [D]a young man.
[A]He had twelve [D]men in his [A]band.
[D]They said he was a
carpenter [A]by [D]trade.[A]
But there was [D]this coward [A]in his camp
[D]By the name of [A]Judas Iscariot,[G]
[A]he went out to han[D]g himsel[A]f
while they laid Jesus Christ in his [D]grave.
Now this song was written,
I think [G]it was in New York [D]City,
for rich men,
for preachers an[A]d for slaves.
[D]But if Je[A]sus [D]were to preach
what he [G]preached at Galilee,
[D]we would lay Jesus Christ
[A]In his gra[D]ve[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]We're [A]singing.
[D]Hallelu[G]jah, [D]hal[A]leluja[D]h,
hal[A]lelujah, hal[D]lelujah, hallelu[G]jah[D]
