just one thing has stayed with me.
that's ever been told.
And it says, for God so loved the world,
D

on this passage of scripture
G

G
D
G
back on Calvary, you see
D

because they told me it wouldn't make this record too long,
but I'd like to let you know
that they lay 39 lashes on his back,
D

a crown of 72 thorns on his head,
G

And that's not all,
but they carried him out to Calvary,

But they tell me on the third day
D

And after far too long days
down here on earth
He summered down from Gloria Cloud
D

And went on back to heaven
D
G
But he said just like you see me going
G

And I ask him when he come back
G

to swing His chariot down
G

That's what I want him to do
a chariot ride before
D

Swing low, swing low, swing low

I told him in the meantime I'd hold,

I felt like that's the least I

could do for him.

what I'm moaning for

I'd like to do it one more time
Come on Jesus,
D

on Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Whoo! Whoo!
Whoo!
