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