Chords

[Intro] C#m [Verse 1]
C#m
Tonight in the line of the merchandise store

                               B    A
While they were packing up my bags

            C#m
I saw the pictures of the prophets of the picket signs

                 E     A
Screaming, "God hates fags"

        C#m
And it feels like the church isn't anything more

           A                     F#m      A
Then the second coming of the Pharisees, yah

   C#m
Scrubbing each other 'til their tombs are white

                          A
They chisel epitaphs of piety
[Prechorus]
                E
Oh, there's a burning down inside of me

                            C#m A E B
'Cause the battle seems so lost

           E
And it's raging on so silently

                       A    E B A
We forget it's being fought
[Chorus]
     E
So, Amen

             E
Come, Lord Jesus

  A
Amen

     E
Oh, Amen

                   E
Please come Lord Jesus

  A
Amen
[Verse 2]
                E
It's taken me years in the race just to get this far

                           B
Still there is no end in sight

                    A
There's no end in sight

               E
'Cause I've carried my cross into dens of the wicked

                                 A
And you know I blended in just fine

           E
Well, I'm weak and I'm weary of breaking His heart

                       B          A
With they cycle of my sin, of my sin

           E
Still He turns His face to me and I kiss it

             A
Just to betray Him once again
[Prechorus]
                 E
Well, I've got oceans down inside of me

                        C#m A E B
I can feel the billows roll

           E
With the mercy that comes thundering

                       C#m A E B A
O'er the waters of my soul
[Chorus]
            E
So I say, Amen

             E
Come, Lord Jesus

  A
Amen

      E
Oh, Amen

                E
So Come, Lord Jesus

  A
Amen
[Verse 3]
    E
Tonight in the light of the gathering rain

                        B    A
I could hear creation groan

       E
And a sigh rose up from the streets of the city

                          A
To the foot of Heaven's throne

              E
Oh, and the people hear the sound of a sweet refrain

                       B           A
An absolution in the fray, in the fray

                  E
It tells of the death of the one for the lives of the many

                                 A
More than any picket sign could say
[Chorus]
      E
So, Amen

             E
Come, Lord Jesus

 A
Amen

      E
Oh, Amen

               E  
So come, Lord Jesus

  A
Amen

      E
Oh, Amen

             E
Come, Lord Jesus

 A
Amen

                    A
Please Come, Lord Jesus

E
Amen

             E 
Come, Lord Jesus

  A
Amen
E
