IS THERE NOT A CAUSE?
Key of C
Intro: F C Dm G C Dm E
I
Am E Am D
The Giant’s shout came ringing out and echoed across the way
Dm C F E
“Is there no champion you can send? Your God is weak this day!
Am E Am D
I’ll fight and win, no question then, as who we should obey
Dm C F G
Let’s end this question once for all, for you will be our prey.”
Refrain 1:
G C
Is there not a cause?
F C G
Is there not a champion strong to stand and face the foe?
G C
Is there not a cause?
F C Bb
Is there not a battle on; how did we get so low?
Dm C E Am
That no one will take up the flag with courage to bestow
F C F C
And lead us on to victory; Our God, His Grace to show?
Interlude: Dm E
II
Am E Am D
Saul and his army fled in fear, no courage could they find
Dm C F E
To stand and fight against such might; each rock they hid behind.
Am E Am D
Was this their plight, no one to fight? The battle line was drawn,
Dm C F G
To end as slaves they were resigned. Their faith and hope were gone.
Refrain 2:
G C
Is there not a cause?
F C G
Is there not a champion strong to stand and face the foe?
G C
Is there not a cause?
F C Bb
Is there not a battle on; how did we get so low?
Dm C E Am
That no one will take up the flag with courage to bestow

And lead us on to victory; Our God, His Grace to show?
Interlude: Dm E
III
Am E Am D
And then a simple shepherd boy arrived upon the scene,
Dm C F E
Who is this one who dares to bring a challenge so obscene?
Am E Am D
I’ll fight him and I’ll win the battle for my God and king,
Dm C F G
No doubt today all men will say, “GOD’S WAY! NO IN BETWEEN!”
Refrain 3:
G C
Yes, there is a cause!
F C G
Yes, there is a champion strong who bids us come with Him.
G C
Yes, there is a cause!
F C Bb
Yes, there is a battle on for souls He died to win
Dm C E Am
Our very lives, a gift from Him, we’ll dedicate again
F C F C
And gather for the victory; through grace we’ll overcome and win
F C
Through grace, we’ll overcome and win
