E (022100@1)                                 E/D#Dear (021100@1)God, why should I think You're good in a world that's falling apart?
C#m (x13321@4)                                         B (x2444x@1)       
The flags and lies, picket signs raised high, the endless enveloping dark
E (022100@1)                                             E/D#Now (021100@1)here we sit, drifting further from You, two thousand years on their way out
C#m (x13321@4)                                            BNow (x2444x@1)here I am, as I've grown to know You, still haunted by my fears and my doubts

       A5 (x022xx@1)                      B5Just (x244xx@1)a man, just a vapor, just a waste of your space
      E5 (022xxx@1)                     A5All (x022xx@1)the good that I've done is in spite of myself
                        B5 (x244xx@1)                         E5 (022xxx@1)                  
I'm not sure that I can look You in Your face when I finally set foot in 
         A5 (x022xx@1)  B5Your (x244xx@1)kingdom

E (022100@1)                           E/D#Dear (021100@1)God, what went wrong? We hate ourselves, we hate our brother 
   C#m (x13321@4)                               B5 (x244xx@1)                                  
We so desperately want to find our way, and all You say is love one another

A5 (x022xx@1)                               B5And (x244xx@1)little babies starve to death, emaciated, out of breath
C#5 (x133xx@4)                              E5Unfaithful (022xxx@1)wives make vows untrue, husbands beat them black and blue
A5 (x022xx@1)                          B5Junkies (x244xx@1)vomit in the streets, writhing, twitching in their skin
C#5 (x133xx@4)                             E5Sell (022xxx@1)themselves to die some more, rotting from the outside in
A5 (x022xx@1)                        B5Parents (x244xx@1)steal the innocence from their children, scared and shaking
C#5 (x133xx@4)                          E5Drink (022xxx@1)away the guilt at night, brings quiet to the endless aching
A5 (x022xx@1)                      B5And (x244xx@1)evil men boast on TV, swimming in a sea of wealth
C#5 (x133xx@4)                         E5While (022xxx@1)misery beds honest men, and lonely people kill themselves
A5 (x022xx@1)                              B5And (x244xx@1)everyone cries out Your name, as the world is raped by selfishness
C#5 (x133xx@4)                               E5And (022xxx@1)no one knows the way to heaven, we only know the emptiness
A5 (x022xx@1)                                B5And (x244xx@1)the storm it rages in my heart, and the endless empty roars in my ears
C#5 (x133xx@4)                         E5My (022xxx@1)world is coming all apart, I've no strength left to dry my tears
A5 (x022xx@1)                                  B5And (x244xx@1)through it all I hear Your voice, breaking my heart, breaking my will
C#5 (x133xx@4)                             E5Calms (022xxx@1)the storm inside my soul as You whisper "peace, be still..."

  C#5 (x133xx@4)                                       B5 (x244xx@1)                    
A king that kneels, a God made a servant, You set the captives free
    E5 (022xxx@1)                               A5You (x022xx@1)wait for me, a wretch of a man, no record of wrongs do You keep
        C#5 (x133xx@4)                                                 B5You (x244xx@1)are comfort when I mourn, You are strength when I am weak Jesus Christ, 
                             E5 (022xxx@1)                           
the king of kings. Though we ache, though we cry, never break, never die 
   A5 (x022xx@1)                                           C#m (x13321@4)             
We sing of His great love again and again and His love reigns forever, and 
                 B (x2444x@1)                      
forever more. Forever and ever, Amen
