Verse 1
Em Em
Like a tree without its branches,
G G
Like a fire without a light,
C C
You're a battle weary soldier
Am Am D D
Who is running from the fight,
C C Em Em
Like a ship without an anchor,
G G
You're a boat without a crew,
C C
You hide the light inside you
Am Am D D
As you're whoring out the truth,
C C Em Em
On the outside you're pretty,
G G
On the inside you're drenched,
C C
In the blood of the anointed,
Am Am D D
In the wound of the oppressed,
C C Em Em G G
Fill your cup full of sorrows as you soil the master's clothes,
C C Am Am D D C C Em Em
You were faithful at the wedding feast, but now wasted in the road,

Chorus
Em Em C C
Like a city on a hill with a blackout in effect
G G C C D D
You defy your maker, is there one you respect?
Em Em C C
Like a city on a hill you are tattered and torn,
G G C C D D Em Em
You defy your Maker in your return to the scorn,


Riff 2 x2


Verse 2
Em Em
Put life to your footsteps,
G G
Put spine to your feet,
C C
Will you make your decision?
Am Am D D
Are you chaff or are you wheat?
C C Em Em
Will you rise or will you fall,
G G
Will you stand or will you crawl?
C C
Will you be the ones He's called you to be
Am Am D D
Or turn away and run,
C C Em Em
I say NO!
