                              For unto me a man child would be born
                                                  Gm                A 
                                    Woe this crazy circumstance
                                                   Dm           F
                                  I knew his life deserved a chance
                                           Gm          A            Dm

                                  But everybody told me to be smart
                                           Gm                       A 
                                      Look at your career they said,
                                                  Dm          F
                                    "Lauryn, baby use your head"
                                             Gm           A         Dm 
 F
                                 But instead I chose to use my heart
                                  F                   Gm             A 
          Dm
                                  Now the joy of my world is in  Zion 
                                            F         Gm             A 
          Dm
                                  Now the joy of my world is in Zion
                                   
                                    How beautiful if nothing more
                                     Than to wait at Zion's door
                                I've never been in love like this
before
                                  Now let me pray to keep you from
                                   The perils that will surely come
                               See life for you my prince has just
begun
                                  And I thank you for choosing me
                                   To come through unto life to be
                                  A beautiful reflection of his grace
                                    For I know that a gift so great
                                    Is only one God could create
                             And I'm reminded every time I see your
face

                                  That the joy of my world is in Zion
                                  Now the joy of my world is in Zion
                                  Now the joy of my world is in Zion
                                  Now the joy of my world is in Zion

                                Marching, marching, marching to Zion
                                        Marching, marching
                                Marching, marching, marching to Zion
                                      Beautiful, beautiful Zion
                                      (repeat to end of song)
