G C G
I will be to my sister as Japheth to Noah
Em D G C
Who covered his father’s shame and chose not to stare
G C G
I won’t loudly expose the sins of my brother
Em D C G
But I’ll fight on his side for the sake of the Name we both bear
G C G
I’ll acknowledge God’s grace as I see it at work in you
Em D C G
And I’ll try to remember I’m at the mercy of grace, too
G C G
Believing the best, though my instinct is throwing stones
Em D C G
I’ll be thankful that God has not left me to walk alone

Oh Church run to the Cross and please look through your skin
Em D G C
Whatever wretched or righteous skin you think you’re in
G C G
Oh humanity courses through all of our veins
Em D G C
And with Adam’s blood in us, we all look the same
Em D C G
Yeah with Adam’s blood in us, we all look the same
G C G
Church, please fight for the cause of the Cross Jesus died on
Em D G C
Forget not your role in the Gospel of Grace

At the foot of the Cross where we each stand defenseless

Jesus’ blood over us makes us all look the same

Jesus’ blood over us makes us all look the same

You bring me low so I’d never look down on a brother

You sanctify me so I’d trust you to do it in others

You forgive all my sins so I’d give up the right
