Beauty [D#] for brokenness, [D#m] hope for [C#] despair, _ [D#] Lord in [Cm] the [Fm] suffering, _
[A#] this is [D#] our prayer. _
[C] Bread for [Fm] the children, _
[C#] [G#] justice, [A#m] [G#] joy, peace, _ Sunrise [C#] to sunset, [A#m] your kingdom [G#] _ increase. _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[G#] _ _ [C#] _ [G#] _ Shelter [D#] for fragile lives, [D#m] cure for [C#] their ills, [D#] Work for the [G#] craftsmen, [A#] trade for [D#] their skills,
_ [C] Land for [Fm] the dispossessed, [C#] [G#] rights for the weak, _ Voices [C#] to plead the cause of those [G#] who can't speak.
[D#] God of [G#] the poor, _ [C] friend of [Fm] the weak, [C#] Give us compassion, [D#] we pray, Melt our [G#] cold hearts, [C] let tears fall [Fm] like rain.
[C#] Come change our love from a [G#] _ spark to a _ flame. _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
[A] _ Refuge [E] from cruel wars, [Em] _ havens [D] from fear, [Bm] [E] Cities for [F#m] sanctuary, _
[B] freedoms to [E] share. _
[C#] Peace to [F#m] the killing fields, [A] scorched earth to green, _ Christ for [D] the bitterness, [Bm] His cross [E] for [A] the pain.
[E] God of [A] the poor, [C#] friend of [F#m] the weak, [D] Give us [Bm] compassion, [E] we pray, _ Melt our [A] cold hearts, [C#] let tears fall [F#m] like rain.
[D] Come change our love from [A] a spark _ _ to a flame.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ Rest for [E] the ravaged earth, [Em] oceans [F#m] and streams, _ [E] Plundered and [F#m] poisoned, [B] our future [E] and [F#] dreams.
[G#] _ [C#] Lord, end [F#m] our madness, _ [D] _ [A] [Bm] carelessness, [A] greed, _ Make us [D] content with [Bm] the things [A] that we need.
[E] God of the [A] _ poor, [C#] friend of [F#m] the weak, [D] Give us [Bm] compassion, [E] we pray, Melt our [A] cold hearts, [C#] let tears fall [F#m] like rain. _
[D] Come change our [Bm] love from [A] a _ spark to a flame. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ Lighten [E] our darkness, _
[Em] breathe on [D] this flame, _ [E] Until your [F#m] justice [B] burns brightly _ [E] again. _
[C#] Until [F#m] the nations _
[D] [A] learn [B] of [A] your ways, Seek your [D] salvation [Bm] and bring you [A] their praise.
[E] God of the [A] _ poor, [C#] friend [F#m] of the weak, _
