[Dm]Did I ever [F]see you? S[C]urely I would have [G]known.
Dm F em B - C
But like a new found father you carried me smilingly home
[Dm]Surely you weren’[F]t the simple b[C]oy, I never kne[G]w his name.
Dm F em G D Dsus D
I never spoke a word to him but his smile will always remain.
CHORUS:
[D]Jubi[C]lee! G[G]ood news for the [D]poor, the acceptable y[C]ear o[G]f the Lo[D]rd.
[D]Jubi[C]lee! G[G]ood news for the [D]poor, the acceptable y[C]ear o[G]f the Lo[Dm]rd.
[Dm]Did I ever ne[F]glect you? [C]Surely I would have [G]known.
Dm F em B - C
But like a loving painter you gave my life its tone
[Dm]Surely you weren’[F]t the wind-brown father on[C] that barren m[G]atted hillside
Dm F em G D
He could only cry as his barefooted children breathe to stay alive.
[Dm]Scares me even now to think of the [G7]Judgment
[Dm]To picture the sheep and the [G]goats
[Dm]And know that you’re asked: “W[G7]hen did you ever?”
[Dm]And I’ll be lost in my dol[G]lar bills and notes
[Dm]Yes, I’ll be lost i[G]n my dollar bills and notes
[Dm]I’ll be lost in my do[G]llar bills and notes.
[Dm]Yes, I’ll be lost in [G]my dollar bills and notes.
[Dm]Did I ever [F]clothe you? [C]Surely, I would have [G]known.
[Dm]But like a self strong [F]brother when you [Em]fill my pouch as you [B]fl[-]ow[C]
[Dm]Surely you weren’[F];t the poor lost gir[C]l who couldn’[G];t find her mother
Dm F em G D
And in taking her hand my soul was melted from one world to another.
[Dsus]And t[D]hen I knew.
[D]Jubi[C]lee! G[G]ood news for the p[D]oor, the acceptable [C]year [G]of the L[D]ord.
