Oh _ _ _ _ _ [E] _

[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] my son, _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] you were born in a world [B] that [F] hates you
_ And [Am]
I swear I will never _
[G] _ [F] forsake _ you _
[C] But there [Bb] was a father _
[F] _ centuries _ ago _
Who [C] watched [Bb] his beloved [Am] son _ _ die
_ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh [F]
die
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Oh [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] my son, _ I am weak [B] and I'm [F] trembling
_ _ _ For [Am] the Lord I am _ always [G] _
_ [C] _ _ [F] remembering
_ [C] Oh _ [F] what a [Bb] strong shepherd [F] holds you in his arms
_ [C] He'll break you [Bb] and make you his [Am]
own
_ [D] And [Am] _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ then take you [F] _ _
home
_ Well _ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] if I could I would protect you from [F] what you [G] will see
[Am] This [C] world made promise, love and duty _
[F] but it lied to [Fm] me _ _
_ And I will [C] show you _ if you [Gb] will [D] listen _ _
And [F] I will _ promise [G] _
to [C] listen too
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[F] Oh yes, there are some who love [C] the lies
They will [G] kill [F] you if they see
Though you speak the truth [C] with love
They will [G] hate [F] you like the man Jesus
[Em] Although he was down _
_ [F] _ _ _ south for _
_ [C] _ [G] you _ _ _
Oh, [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ south for _ [C] _ [G]
you
_ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ Oh
_ [C] Well if I could I would protect you [F] from what you will [G] see _
[C] This world just might seem so alive [F] but it's dead [Fm] to me _ _ _
And [C] I will teach you _ if you [D] will hear me
_ And [F] I will _ promise [G] _ _
to hear you _ [Am] too
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ Yes [F] I do
_ _ Oh _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] my son, I am only [B] your [F] brother
_ _ _ For [Am] a sister _ God gave me [F] your _ _ _ mother
_ But [C] _
just like [Bb] the mother _ [F]
so long ago
_ Had [C] to watch [Bb] her beloved _ [Am] son _ die
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ Oh son, we will [F]
try _ _ to _ [G] let you _ [Dm] go
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The Lord says to us tonight, he gave us his son, why [Ab] won't we give him our [Am] life in return?
_ All of it, _ _ _ why not?
_ _ He loves us.
