1.) "It Was Jesus"
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
Well, a man walked down by Galilee
B7
So the holy book does say
E A
And a great multitude was gathered there
B7 E
Without a thing to eat for days
E
Up stepped a little boy with a basket
B7
"Please take this, Lord," he said
E A
And with just five loaves and two little fishes
B7 E
Five thousand had fish and bread
[Chorus]
A
Who was it, everybody? (It was Jesus)
E
Who was it, everybody? (It was Jesus)
A
Who was it, everybody? (It was Jesus)
N.C.
It was Jesus Christ, our Lord
E
[Verse 2]
E
Now, pay close attention, little children
B7
It's somebody you ought to know
E A
Yeah, it's all about a man that walked on earth
B7 E
Nearly two thousand years ago
E
Well, He healed the sick and afflicted
B7
And He raised them from the dead
E A
Then they nailed Him on an old, rugged cross
B7 E
And put thorns on his head
[Chorus]
A
Who was it, everybody? (It was Jesus)
E
Who was it, everybody? (It was Jesus)
A
Who was it, everybody? (It was Jesus)
N.C.
It was Jesus Christ, our Lord
E
[Verse 3]
E
Well, they took Him down and they buried Him
B7
And after the third day
E A
When they came to His tomb, well, they knew He was gone
B7
'cause the stone was rolled away
E
"He is not here, for He has risen"
B7
The angel of the Lord then said
E A
And when they saw Him walking with his nail-scarred hands
B7 E
They knew He had came back from the dead
[Chorus]
A
Who was it, everybody? (It was Jesus)
E
Who was it, everybody? (It was Jesus)
A
Who was it, everybody? (It was Jesus)
N.C.
It was Jesus Christ, our Lord
E
[Outro]

2.) "I Saw a Man"
[Intro]
B7 E
[Verse 1]
B7 E
Last night, I dreamed an angel came
B7 E
He took my hand, he called my name
B7 E
He bid me, "Look the other way"
B7 E
I saw a man, I heard him say
[Chorus]
A
He said, "If I be lifted up
E
I'll draw all men to me"
B7
He turned and then I saw
E
The nail-scarred hand that bled for me
A
I touched the hem of His garment
E
That fell 'round Him there
B7
My life, my heart I gave
E
My soul was in His care
[Verse 2]
B7 E
When I awoke, my heart beat slow
B7 E
And in the dark, I saw a glow
B7 E
This was no dream, He turned my way
B7 E
Again I heard my savior say
[Chorus]
A
He said, "If I be lifted up
E
I'll draw all men to me"
B7
He turned and then I saw
E
The nail-scarred hand that bled for me
A
I touched the hem of His garment
E
That fell 'round Him there
B7
My life, my heart I gave
E B7 E
My soul was in His care (in his care)
3.) "Are All the Children In"
[Intro]
D A7 D
[Verse]
D A7
When I'm alone, I often think of an old house on the hill
D
Of a big yard hedged in roses where we ran and played at will
D7 G
And when the nighttime brought us home, hushing our merry din
D A7
Mother would look around and ask, "Are all the children in?"
D
[Verse 2]
D A7
Well, it's been many a year now and the old house on the hill
D
No longer has my mother's care and the yard is still, so still
D7 G
But if I listen, I can hear it all, no matter how long it's been
D A7 D
I seem to hear my mother ask, "Are all the children in?"
[Verse 3]
D A7
And I wonder, when the curtain falls on that last earthly day
D
When we say goodbye to all of this, to our pain and work and play
D7 G
When we step across the river where mother so long has been
D A7
Will we hear her ask a final time, "Are all the children in?"
D
(I come)
4.) "The Old Account"
[Intro]
E B7 E
[Verse 1]

Well, there was a time on earth when in the books of heaven
A E F#7 B7
An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiven
E E7
My name was at the top and many things below
A E B7 E
But I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago
[Chorus]
B7 E
Long ago (down on my knees), long ago (I settled it all)
B7
Yes, the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah)
E A E
And the record's clear today 'cause He washed my sins away
B7 E
And the old account was settled long ago
[Verse 2]
E
Well, the old account was large and growing every day
A E F#7 B7
And I was always sinning and I never tried to pray
E E7
But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe
A E B7 E
Well, I went unto the keeper and settled it long ago
[Chorus]
B7 E
Long ago (down on my knees), long ago (I settled it all)
B7
Yes, the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah)

And the record's clear today 'cause He washed my sins away
B7 E
And the old account was settled long ago
[Bridge]
E B7 E
[Verse 3]
E
Now, sinner, seek the Lord, repent of all your sins
A E F#7 B7
'cause this He has commanded if you would enter in
E E7
And then, if you should live a hundred years below
A E B7 E
Well, you know you got it settled 'cause you settled it long ago
[Chorus]
B7 E
Long ago (down on my knees), long ago (I settled it all)
B7
Yes, the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah)
E A E
And the record's clear today 'cause He washed my sins away
B7 E
And the old account was settled long ago
A E
(Long ago)
