[C] [F]
[G]
[C] [F]
[C] [F]
[C] Do [Dm] you see, do [F] you see [G] all the people sinking [C] down?
[Dm] Don't you care, [F] don't you care?
Are you [G] gonna [Ab] let [Am] them drown?
[G] How can you be [C] so numb not [Dm] to care if [F] they come?
[C] You close your [G] eyes [Am] and [G] pretend [Am] [G] the [C] job's [F] done
[G] [F] [C] Oh [Dm] bless me Lord, [F] bless me Lord, you know [G] it's all I [C] ever hear
[F] No one aches, no one hurts, [G] no one even [Ab] sheds [Am] one tear
But [G] he cries, he [C] weeps, he pleads, and [F] he cares for your needs
[C] And you [Dm] just [G] lay back [Am] and [G] keep [Am] [G] sobbing it [Bb] in
[F] [C] Oh can't you [Dm] see it's [C] [Bb] such a sin?
[F] [D] Cause he brings people [G] to your door and you turn them [E] away
As you smile [Am] and say, [G] God bless you, [C] be at peace
And all [Dm] heaven [C] [F] just
[C] weeps
[F] Cause Jesus came to [C] your door
[Dm] You've [F] left him out on [C] the [F] streets
[G] [F] [C]
[F] Open up, open up, [G] and give yourself [C] away
You see [Dm] the need, you [F] hear the [G] cries, so how can [Ab] you [Am] delay?
[G] God's calling and [C] you're the one, but like [Dm] Jonah [C] you're [F] on
He's [C] told you to [G] speak, [Am] but you [G] keep [C] holding [G] it [Bb] in
[F] [C]
Oh, can't you see it's such [Bb]
[F] [G] [F] a sin?
The [D] world is sleeping [G] in the dark
That the church just [E] can't fight
Cause it's asleep in [Am] the light
How [G] can you be [C] so dead when you've been so [F] well [C] fed?
[F]
Jesus rose from the [C] grave
And you, [Dm] you [C] can't even get [Bb] out of bed
[F]
[C] Oh, Jesus rose from [Bb] the dead
[F]
[C] [Dm] [C] Come on, [Dm] get [C] out [Bb] [F] of bed
[D]
[G] How
[E]
[Am] [G] can you be so [C] dumb not to [Dm] care [C] if [F] they come?
You [Dm]
[C] close your [G] eyes [Am] and [G] pretend [Am] the [C] [Dm] job's done
[F] [Em] You [Dm]
[C] close your [G] [Am] eyes [G] and [Am] pretend [G] the [C] [Dm] job's [C] done
[F] [C] Don't [Dm]
[C] close your [G] eyes, [Am] don't [G] [Am] pretend [G]
[C] the job's [F] done
Come [G]
[C] [F] away, come away, come [G] away with me [C] my love
Come [F] away from this mess, [Am] come [G] away with [C] me my [Dm] love
[F] Come [G]
[C] [Dm] [G]
