[D] [C] [G]
name things we see as wrong, [D] we name our [G] nation's sins,

[G] We cry for social justice [D] in our foreign [G] policies,
but [C] let's not be [G] distracted, [D] let's not be [C] deceived.
[G] For we battle not with flesh and blood, [D] and with governments [G] of men,
[Am] for all have fallen short of God, [E] and all have surely [D]
[G] sinned.
So my force will take the king, [D] who to battle feels [G] the prayer,
[C] and upon our knees [G] we shall be [D] victory [C]
declared.

While we [C] work to heal [G] the symptoms, [D] we must not forget [C] the cause.
So [G] as we rise to this occasion, [D] and the arguments [G]
increase,
we [Am] shall go proclaim the gospel [Em] of Jesus Christ [D] our King.
[G] For the answer to these issues, [D] the healing of [G] our souls,
[C] was nailed to [G] a wooden cross [D] two thousand years [C]
ago.
