No one laughs at God when a doc tor calls af ter some rou tine tests.

No one’s (Cm)laugh ing at God when it’s got ten real (Cm)late and their kid’s not back (Db)from that par ty yet.

No one laughs at God when their air plane starts to un con trol la bly shake.

No one’s (Fm)laugh ing at God when they see (Cm)the one they love hand in (Db)hand with some one else and they hope that they’re mis tak en.

No one laughs at God when the cops knock on (Eb)their door and they say, “We’ve got some (Ab)bad news, sir.” No one’s (Fm)laugh ing at God when there’s a fam ine, fi re or (Db)flood.

But God can be fun

No one laughs at God in a hos pi tal, no one laughs at God (Ab)in a war.

No one’s (Fm)laugh ing at God when they’ve lost all they got and they don’t know what for.

No one laughs at God on a day they re al ize that the last sight they’ll ev er (Ab)see is a pair of (Cm)hate ful eyes.

No one’s laugh ing at God when they’re say ing their (Db)good byes.

But God can be fun i ous.

No one laughs at God in a hos pi tal, no one laughs at God in a (Ab)war.

No one’s (Bbm)laugh ing at God in a (Fm)hos pi tal, no one’s (Eb)laugh ing at God in a war.

No one’s (Cm)laugh ing at God when they’re starv ing or (Cm)freez ing or so ver y poor.

No one’s laugh ing at God,

no one’s laugh ing at God.

No one’s laugh ing at God, we’re all laugh ing with God.
