G        D             G
I have a heart full of questions
         D             Em
quieting all my suggestions
             G/B        C
what is the meaning of Christian
         D        G
in this american life?

G            D       G
I’m feeling awfully foolish
             D         Em
spending my life on a message
        G/B          C
I look around and I wonder
           D         G
ever If I heard it right


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


[Chorus]
           Em            D
I need to know there is justice
              C        G
That it will roll in abundance
                  C         G
And that You’re building a city
G                    D
Where we arrive as immigrants
Em            G/B
You call us citizens
     C         D            G
And welcome us as children home


[Verse 2]
G        D             G
You were alone and rejected
          D           Em
Misunderstood and detested
            G/B           C
You gave it all, didn’t hold back
          D            G
You even gave up Your life

G           D               G
How can we call ourselves Christians
             D          Em
Saying that love is a tension
             G/B          C
Between the call of the cross and
             D         G
Between the old party line


[Pre-Chorus]
G          C           G
Coming to You for the mothers
             Em          D
Who are all running for cover
            C                G
There is a flood from their weeping
             C               G
Tell me You won’t make them go


[Chorus]
           Em            D
I need to know there is justice
              C        G
That it will roll in abundance
                  C         G
And that You’re building a city
G                    D
Where we arrive as immigrants
Em            G/B
You call us citizens
     C         D            G
And welcome us as children home


[Verse 3]
G          D           G
There is a man with a family
          D          Em
He has a wife and a baby
              G/B         C
He broke the law just to save them
            D          G
Working for 3 bucks an hr.

G          D            G
Truly You said we were equal
            D         Em
Everyone’s heart is deceitful
          G/B      C
Everyone born is illegal
                  D          G
When love is the law of the land


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


[Chorus]
           Em            D
I need to know there is justice
              C        G
That it will roll in abundance
                  C         G
And that You’re building a city
G                    D
Where we arrive as immigrants
Em            G/B
You call us citizens
     C         D            G
And welcome us as children home


[Verse 4]
G           D            G
There is a wolf who is ranting
            D               Em
All of the sheep they are clapping
           G/B          C
Promising power and protection
               D              G
Claiming the Christ who was killed

G            D         G
Killed by a common consensus
           D         Em
Everyone screaming Barabas
               G/B       C
Trading their God for a hero
             D          G
Forfeiting heaven for Rome


[Pre-Chorus]
G          C           G
Coming to You cuz I’m angry
          Em          D
Coming to You cuz I’m guilty
           C               G
Coming to You cuz You’ve promised
               C             G
To leave the flock for the one


[Chorus]
           Em            D
I need to know there is justice
              C        G
That it will roll in abundance
                  C         G
And that You’re building a city
G                    D
Where we arrive as immigrants
Em            G/B
You call us citizens
     C         D            G
And welcome us as children home
G                    D
Where we arrive as immigrants
Em            G/B
You call us citizens
     C         D            G
And welcome us as children home


[Verse 5]
G           D           G
Is there a way to love always?
           D     Em
Living in enemy hallways
                G/B          C
Don’t know my foes from my friends and
               D        G
Don’t know my friends anymore

G          D       G
Power has several prizes
               D           Em
Handcuffs can come in all sizes
            G/B       C
Love has a million disguises
                D          G
But winning is simply not one
