G Em C G
There's a blood red circle on the cold dark ground
D Em D C G
And the rain is falling down
Em C G
The church doors thrown open I can hear the organ's song
DEm C G
But the congregation's gone
Em C G
My city of ruins
Em C G
My city of ruins
G Em C G
Now the sweet veils of mercy drift through the evening trees
D Em D C G
Young men on the corner like scattered leaves
Em C G
The boarded up windows, the empty streets
D Em D C G
While my brother's down on his knees
Em C G
My city of ruins
Em C G
My city of ruins
Em C D G
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
Em C D G
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
Em C D G
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!

G Em C G
Now there's tears on the pillow darling where we slept
D Em D C G
And you took my heart when you left
Em C G
Without your sweet kiss my soul is lost, my friend
D Em D C G
Now tell me how do I begin again?
Em C G
My city's in ruins
Em C G
My city's in ruins
G Em C G
Now with these hands, with these hands
G Em C G
With these hands, with these hands
(I pray Lord)
G Em C G
With these hands, with these hands
(I pray for the strength Lord)

Come on rise up! Come on rise up!

Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
Em C D G
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
Em C D G
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
