        E                            A            E 
In this life of care and woe I have traveled many roads 
                                B7 
I've had my share of misery and pain 
       E                             A                E 
When I found my life was lost, in my heart I carved a cross 
                     B7                 E 
And sealed it with a song I've lived to sing 
 
          E 
Don't you worry 'bout a thing 
       A                  E 
Jesus Christ is still the King 
                                            B7 
He has brought you from the darkness to the light 
          E       
Don't you fret now don't you doubt 
         A         E 
You will never be without 
                      B7                  E 
Don't you worry Jesus Christ is still the same

          E                             A                  E

                                              B7 
Jesus Christ has broke the chains and set you free 
      E                            A              E 
Be a light unto the world all you little boys and girls 
                      B7                  E 
Keep on smilin' Jesus Christ is still the King 
 
          E 
Don't you worry 'bout a thing 
       A                  E 
Jesus Christ is still the King 
                                            B7 
He has brought you from the darkness to the light 
          E 
Don't you fret now don't you doubt 
         A           E 
You will never be without 
                      B7                  E 
Don't you worry Jesus Christ is still the King
