Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F
Well they call me the prophet Jeremiah
Dm E7 Am E7
In the days of our captivity
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F
In the thirteenth year of king Josiah
Dm E7 Am
The word of the Lord came unto me
F A7sus4 A7 Dm E7 Am
Before I formed you in the belly of your mother I knew you
F A7sus4 A7 Dm E7
Before you came forth from the womb I sanctified you
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F
Before this world had its creation
Dm E7 Am
I ordained you a prophet to the nations
C E Am
Then said I, ah Lord God behold I cannot speak
Dm G
Just look at me, Lord can’t you see that I am but a child
C E Am
The Lord rebuked me, He said don’t you talk that way
D
You’re gonna go wherever I send you
Dm E7
You’re gonna speak the words that I tell you to say
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F
And don’t be afraid of their faces
Dm E7 Am E7
Just remember my deliverance is near
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F
Though they may seem amazed at what you’re saying
Dm E7 Am
Speak the word of My Spirit without fear
F A7sus4 A7 Dm E7 Am
Today I have placed you over nations and over kingdoms
F A7sus4 A7
To root up, tear down and destroy
Dm E7
But later you’ll build and you’ll plant them
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F
Well they call me the prophet Jeremiah
Dm E7 Am E7
In the days of our captivity
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F
In the thirteenth year of king Josiah
Dm E7 Am
The word of the Lord came unto me
