Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb
Preacher, I'd say its been a while
                 AbAb
since you heard this request,
           Eb MajorEb
but my spirit is tired,
    E minorEm Bb majorBb
and I need rest.
  Eb MajorEb
I want to hear from heaven,
   AbAb             Eb MajorEb
a clear word from God,
    Eb MajorEb
a sermon of conviction
           Bb majorBb
straight from the heart.

        E MajorE
I've been hearin' other preachers
            A augmentedA
say I don't have to change,
              E MajorE
the most eloquent of speakers

tell me I'm okay,
BB                E MajorE
but it hasn't eased my conscience,
              A augmentedA
and I know its not the truth,
                E MajorE
so when you stand before us,
         BB
can I count on you?


    E MajorE

            A augmentedA        E MajorE        BB
don't be afraid to call my sin what it is.
    E MajorE  AbmAbm     E MajorE
And preacher, tell me I can overcome,
        A augmentedA        E MajorE       BB
but its only by the blood of the lamb .
