Thereʼs a blood red circle on the cold dark ground
D#FmD#C#G#
And the rain is falling down
FmC#G#
The church doors thrown open I can hear the organʼs song
D#FmD#C#G#
But the congregationʼs gone
FmC#G#
My city of ruins
FmC#G#
My city of ruins
G#FmC#G#
Now the sweet veils of mercy drift through the evening trees
D#FmD#C#G#
Young men on the corner like scattered leaves
FmC#G#
The boarded up windows, the empty streets
D#FmD#C#G#
While my brotherʼs down on his knees
FmC#G#
My city of ruins
FmC#G#
My city of ruins
FmC#D#G#
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
FmC#D#G#
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
FmC#D#G#
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
D#FmD#C#G#
Come on ri--------se up
G#FmC#G#
Now thereʼs tears on the pillow darling where we slept
D#FmD#C#G#
And you took my heart when you left
FmC#G#
Without your sweet kiss my soul is lost, my friend
D#FmD#C#G#
Now tell me how do I begin again?
FmC#G#
My cityʼs in ruins
FmC#G#
My cityʼs in ruins
G#FmC#G#
Now with these hands, with these hands
G#FmC#G#
With these hands, with these hands
(I pray Lord)
G#FmC#G#
With these hands, with these hands
(I pray for the strength Lord)
With these hands, with these hands
(I pray for the faith Lord)
With these hands, with these hands
(I pray for Your love Lord)
With these hands, with these hands
(I pray for the lost Lord)
With these hands, with these hands
(I pray for the world Lord)
With these hands, with these hands
FmC#D#G#
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
FmC#D#G#
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
FmC#D#G#
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
FmC#D#G#
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
D#FmD#C#G#
Come on ri--------se up
