Em              C
It will make a weak man mighty

D                  Em
   It will make a mighty man fall

Em                C
It will fill your heart and hands

D                     Em
   Or leave you with nothing at all

Em            C
It's the eyes   for the blind

D                   Em
   And legs for the lame

Em      C
It is     love for hate

D               Em
  And pride for shame
[Chorus]

Em            C
In the hour of richness

D               Em
  In the hour of need

Em           C
For all of creation

D                Em
  Comes from the gospel seed

Em                 C
Now you may leave tomorrow

D                    Em
  And you may leave today

Em                         C
But you've got to have the gospel

  When you start out on your way

That's the power of the mighty power, oh

Bm                      Em
That's the power of the gospel
