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

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

        E   Abm         E        
And preacher, tell me I can overcome,  
                A               E             B 
but its only by the blood of the lamb .
