Preacher, I'd say its been a while
                                  G
since you heard this request,
                     D
but my spirit is tired,
        D#m  A
and I need rest.
    D           
I want to hear from heaven,
     G                         D
a clear word from God,
        D          
a sermon of conviction
                      A
straight from the heart.

                D#                     
I've been hearing other preachers 
                        G#
say I don't have to change, 
                            D#
the most eloquent of speakers 
                
tell me I'm okay, 
A#                                D#
but it hasn't eased my conscience,
                           G#
and I know its not the truth,
                                D#
so when you stand before us,
                  A#
can I count on you?
------------------------------------------

        D#

                       G#               D#                A#
don't be afraid to call my sin what it is. 
        D#   Gm         D#       
And preacher, tell me I can overcome, 
                G#               D#             A#
but its only by the blood of the lamb .
 Gm Fm                                A#

           G#         D#
