D
The Lord said stand up Paul
                 A
And dry off your tears
                                         D
You must preach the Gospel for many long years
                                             G
Go down to Damascus, the street thats called straight
                     D       A             D
My servant will tell you the road you must take

[Chorus]
  D
I counted on Adam
             A
I counted on Kain
                                   D
I counted on Jonah, but he was the same
                                    G
I counted on Judas, but he proved untrue
                     D
So go tell the world Paul 
    A           D
I'm counting on you

[Verse]
D
Three days have gone by Lord
                  A
And still I can't see
                                      D
Here comes Ananias with a message for me
                                       G
He said "Brother Paul, the Lord in the sky
               D               A         D
has sent me to heal you and to open your eyes"
     D 
I'll send you to the Gentiles
                 A
I'll send you to Rome
                                        D
And Paul you will suffer til I call you home
                                               G
You must sleep on the desert be shipwrecked at sea
                     D             A          D
But just go right on preaching the Gospel for me

[Chorus]
  D
I counted on Adam
             A
I counted on Kain
                                   D
I counted on Jonah, but he was the same
                                  G
I counted on Judas, but he proved untrue
                     D
So go tell the world Paul 
    A           D
I'm counting on you
