Tom: Em
Em D/F# C5
There's a promise in our veins
Em D/F# C5
But it's faded by all these years in chains
Em D/F# C5
Send a prophet, send the plagues
Em D/F# C5
That by sunrise we will no more be slaves
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em D/F#
Take the lamb, take the blood
C5
And paint it on our doorways
Em D/F# C5
At night death will come but pass us by
[Chorus 1]
Em D/F# C5
This is all our hope and peace
Em D/F# C5
[Verse 2]
Em D/F# C5
In the morning, we will rise
Em D/F# C5
Taste the freedom we thought we'd never find
Em D/F# C5
We will dance now in the streets
Em D/F# C5
Once held captive now we shall live as kings
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em D/F#
Lift your head, your voice
C5
And sing of your salvation
Em D/F# C5
Of the blood of the Lamb that gave us life
[Chorus 2]
Em D/F# C5
Now by this, we'll overcome
Em D/F# C5
Now by this, we'll reach our home
[Interlude]
Am Em G D/F# C5
Am Em G D/F# C5
[Verse 3]
Em D/F# C5
There's a poison in our veins
Em D/F# C5
And it leads to death we cannot escape
Em D/F# C5
Send a ransom, a perfect Son
Em D/F# C5
Remedy the curse by His precious blood
[Chorus 3]
Em D/F#
And the Lamb that will come
C5
His cross will be our doorway
Em D/F# C5
And the red of His blood, will make us white
Em D/F#
And daughters and sons
C5
Rejoice in resurrection
Em D/F# C5
And death swallowed up in endless life
[Outro]
Em D/F# C5
Glory, glory, this I sing
Em D/F# C5
All my praise for this I bring
Em D/F# C5
Naught of good that I have done
C5 D/F# Em
Nothing but the blood of Je- sus
