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