Em    D/F#   C5
There's a promise in our veins
         Em    D/F#         C5
But it's faded by all these years in chains
       Em        D/F#     C5
Send a prophet, send the plagues
         Em     D/F#       C5
That by sunrise we will no more be slaves


[Pre-Chorus 1]
          Em             D/F#
Take the lamb, take the blood
    C5
And paint it on our doorways
   Em               D/F#      C5
At night death will come but pass us by


[Chorus 1]
Em         D/F# C5
This is all our hope and peace


Em D/F# C5


[Verse 2]
          Em    D/F#   C5
In the morning, we will rise
            Em    D/F#         C5
Taste the freedom we thought we'd never find
        Em        D/F#     C5
We will dance now in the streets
          Em     D/F#       C5
Once held captive now we shall live as kings


[Pre-Chorus 2]
          Em          D/F#
Lift your head, your voice
     C5
And sing of your salvation
   Em               D/F#      C5
Of the blood of the Lamb that gave us life


[Chorus 2]
Em           D/F# C5
Now by this, we'll overcome
Em           D/F# C5
Now by this, we'll reach our home


[Interlude]
Am Em G D/F# C5
Am Em G D/F# C5


[Verse 3]
          Em    D/F#   C5
There's a poison in our veins
        Em       D/F#         C5
And it leads to death we cannot escape
        Em       D/F#     C5
Send a ransom, a perfect Son
           Em       D/F#         C5
Remedy the curse by His precious blood


[Chorus 3]
         Em           D/F#
And the Lamb that will come
     C5
His cross will be our doorway
        Em         D/F#    C5
And the red of His blood, will make us white
     Em          D/F#
And daughters and sons
     C5
Rejoice in resurrection
     Em            D/F#    C5
And death swallowed up in endless life


[Outro]
Em            D/F# C5
Glory, glory, this I sing
Em            D/F# C5
All my praise for this I bring
Em             D/F# C5
Naught of good that I have done
C5                       D/F# Em
Nothing but the blood of Je- sus
