[Intro]
G C G D G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
When you pick up the paper and
C              G
read the daily news
G
Of how the world is sinking
G   A7               D7
The domward way they choose
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
The ballparks and theaters
G    C               G
Have took the silent stage
G       C              G
They’ve got the church outnumbered
G  D7                G
It makes you want to pray
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
They've got the church outnumbered
G C                  G
Inside this troubled land
G
They seek not for the Savior
G   A7           D7
His word to understand
 
 
[Verse 4]
G
Their pleasure in being carefree
G   C              G
And resting not in pain
G       C                 G
They've got the Church outnumbered
G    D           G
When Jesus comes again

[Verse 5]
G
We read about the big shows
G    C            G
With tickets in advance
G
We see millions together
G    A7                A7
They wouldn’t miss the chance
 
 
[Verse 6]
G
The faithful few are ready
G   C               G
His mansion God can share
G
But when they get to heaven
G          D              G
They won’t be outnumbered there
 
 
[Verse 7]
G
They've got the church outnumbered
G C                  G
Inside this troubled land
G
They seek not for the Savior
G   A7           D7
His word to understand
 
 
[Verse 8]
G
Their pleasure in being carefree
G   C              G
And resting not in pain
G
They won't have the Church outnumbered
G    D           G
When Jesus comes again
