Verse
G#
You throw out your whitewash
C# G#
and I’ll throw out my pride
let’s open and expose all
C# G#
that the devil says to hide
Fm
and let’s shave off these callouses
C# D#
from the things we’ve tried
Fm
and release all the secrets
C# G#
we’re taught to keep inside
[Chorus]
Fm C# G#
Cause He is worthy of a flawless bride
A#m C# G#
but He says we are His delight
Fm D#
He is worthy of a flawless bride
C# G#
so we should probably try
[Verse 2]
G#
You throw out your whitewash
C# G#
and I’ll shut my judging eyes
let our thanks and our praises
C# G#
now replace our battle cries
and let’s stop this unrighteous hatred
C# G#
that fueled by lies
and let’s love all the people
C# G#
religion has despised
[Chorus]
Fm C# G#
Cause He is worthy of a flawless bride
A#m C# G#
but He says we are His delight
Fm D#
He is worthy of a flawless bride
C# A#m
so we should probably try...
[Bridge]
Fm
a little harder than attending Sunday service
G#
take the gospel to the streets
D#
and let our living be our worship
A#m
and instead of pointing fingers
Fm
we should find the faults within us
G# D#
cause we’ve all got this blood on our hands
A#m
and I’m not singing to the world
Fm
I’d rather preach it too the choir
G#
cause we’re executing murderers
D#
and exalting lots of liars
A#m Fm
when in actuality we’re all deserving of hell-fire
G# D#
but saved by this blood on our hands
[Outro]
G# C# G#
I’m urging you to hold on to the hope that we profess
C# G#
cause the promiser is faithful and he keeps his promises
Fm C# D#
So I promise you, oh, my friends there’ll be more than this
Fm C# G#
but not because of our works but by His righteousness
