Verse 1

[G]I have[D] a heart f[G]ull of questions
quiet[D]ing all m[Em]y suggestions
what is[G/B] the mea[C]ning of Christian
in th[D]is amer[G]ican life?
[G]I’m feeli[D]ng aw[G]fully foolish
spendin[D]g my l[Em]ife on a message
I lo[G/B]ok around[C] and I wonder
ever If[D] I hear[G]d it right

Pre-Chorus

[G]coming[C] to You [G]cuz I’m confused
coming[Em] to You [D]cuz I feel used
coming[C] to weep[G] while I’m waiting
tell me[C] You won[G]’t make me go

Chorus

I need[Em] to know t[D]here is justice
   C   G
That it will roll in abundance
And that Y[C]ou’re b[G]uilding a city

[Em]You call us[G/B] citizens
And[C] welc[D]ome us a[G]s children home

Verse 2

[G]You we[D]re alone[G] and rejected
Misun[D]derstoo[Em]d and detested
You gav[G/B]e it all, d[C]idn’t hold back
You e[D]ven gave [G]up Your life
[G]How can [D]we call o[G]urselves Christians
Saying t[D]hat lov[Em]e is a tension
Between[G/B] the call [C]of the cross and
Between[D] the ol[G]d party line

Pre-Chorus

[G]Coming [C]to You [G]for the mothers
Who are[Em] all runn[D]ing for cover

Tell me[C] You won[G]’t make them go

Verse 3

[G]There i[D]s a man [G]with a family
He ha[D]s a wif[Em]e and a baby
He broke[G/B] the law[C] just to save them
Worki[D]ng for 3[G] bucks an hr.
[G]Truly Y[D]ou said [G]we were equal
Everyon[D]e’s hea[Em]rt is deceitful
Everyo[G/B]ne born[C] is illegal
When love [D]is the [G]law of the land

Pre-Chorus

[G]Coming [C]to You [G]for the hungry
Eating [Em]the scraps [D]of this country
Didn’t [C]You swear[G] You would feed them
Tell me[C] You won[G]’t make them go

That it [C]will r[G]oll in abundance
And that Y[C]ou’re b[G]uilding a city
[G]Where we arr[D]ive as immigrants
[Em]You call us[G/B] citizens
And[C] welc[D]ome us a[G]s children home

Verse 4

[G]There is[D] a wolf [G]who is ranting
All of [D]the sheep [Em]they are clapping
Promis[G/B]ing powe[C]r and protection
Claiming[D] the Chris[G]t who was killed
G   D   G
Killed by a common consensus
Everyo[D]ne sc[Em]reaming Barabas
Trading [G/B]their Go[C]d for a hero
Forfeit[D]ing hea[G]ven for Rome

Pre-Chorus

[G]Coming [C]to You [G]cuz I’m angry
Coming[Em] to You [D]cuz I’m guilty
Coming[C] to You c[G]uz You’ve promised
To leave [C]the floc[G]k for the one

And[C] welc[D]ome us a[G]s children home
[G]Where we arr[D]ive as immigrants
[Em]You call us[G/B] citizens
   C   D   G
And welcome us as children home

Verse 5

[G]Is there[D] a way [G]to love always?
Living[D] in [Em]enemy hallways
Don’t kn[G/B]ow my foe[C]s from my friends and
Don’t kn[D]ow my[G] friends anymore
[G]Power h[D]as se[G]veral prizes
Handcuff[D]s can co[Em]me in all sizes
Love ha[G/B]s a mill[C]ion disguises
But winni[D]ng is s[G]imply not one
