Verse 1
(D major) (E minor) (G major) (D major) Last night,
this old world (G major) went to sleep
with troubles on her mind.
(D major) More troubles than she's known
since time began.
With the leaders of all nations
gathered in one room,
(E major) the future of the world was in
(A major) their hands.
(D major) Now the moment had come
for men an (G major) d nations
to decide
(D major) how an everlasting peace could be born.
But hopes (G major) of peace soon ended
when (D major) one man took the floor
and (A major) started speaking words
of fire (D major) and scorn.
The smaller nations pleaded
that their people might be
saved
(G major) from the awful fate of war that
(D major) filled the air.
Then a small handful of leaders
(G major) who had put their faith in God
(D major) bowed their heads
(E major) and all began to (A major) offer prayer.
At the (D major) stroke of midnight,
a si (G major) lence filled the room,
(D major) and a strange hand opened
and unlocked (E minor) the guarded (D major) door.
(G major) Then, softly through the (D major) silence,
a tender voice (A major) was heard
as (D major) the stranger's shadow
fell across the floor.
(B minor) They watched his (D major) every movement,
listened to his every (G major) word.
(D major) Around him was a light as bright as the sun. (B minor)
(D major) Lift up (G major) your hearts, he pleaded,
extending out (D major) his arms.
Your (E major) plans are many,
but there's (A major) really only one.
(D major) While some of you have prayed for peace,
others (G major) speak of war.
(D major) The treaties of this world will never stand.
The greatest book of (G major) all is missing
from your (D major) peace table.
The one inspired by (A major) God's
(D major) almighty hand.
The leaders felt they knew him
as he turned to leave the room.
And they all (G major) stood mute
as though they had been stunned. (D major)
As he raised his arms (B minor) in a sign of peace,
(G major) they saw his (D major) nail -scarred hands.
(E major) The peace table had been (D major) visited
by the one, (B minor) (A major) the only (D major) one.
Then just (G major) for one brief moment,
(D major) a darkness filled the room,
a miracle they soon would understand.
(G major) As the na (D major) tions took
their places
at the peace (A major) table,
every leader (D major) had a Bible in his hand.
(B minor) We (D major) need him (G major) now, we (D major) need him now,
(G major) yes, we need (D major) (E minor) him now.
(G major) (D major)
