_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ Why do the nations [F#] rage? _
_ [D] Why do they plot and scheme? _
[Bm] Their bullets can't stop the prayers we pray
[F#m] In the name of the Prince [E] of Peace
We [G] _ walk in faith and [D] remember long ago
[C#] How they killed him and then out [F#m] of the dirt they arose
[D] Well, things may look bad and things may look grim
[Bm] But all these things must pass [D] except the [E] things that are of [D] him
[A] Where are the nails that pierced his hands?
[D] Well, the [F#m] nails have turned to rust but [E] behold [A] the man [D] he's risen [A] and _ reigns
In [F#m] the hearts of the children [E] rising up in his [D] name
[A] Where are the thorns that drew his blood?
[D] Well, the [F#m] thorns have turned to dust [E] and not [A] so the love [D] he's given
[A] No, it [A] remains
In [F#m] the hearts of [A] the children [E] who were loved by the [F#m] nations who [D] raged

_ [F#m] The Lord in heaven [F#] laughs
He [D] _ knows what is to come _ _
[Bm] While all the chiefs of state plan their big [B]
attacks
[F#m] Against his anointed [E] one _
_ [G] But the Church of God, she [D] will not bend her knees
[C#] To the gods of this world, though [F#] they [F#m] promise her peace
[D] When she stands aground, stands [D] firm on the rock
[Bm] Watch her walls tumble down when she lives out his love
[D] Where [A] are the nails that pierced his hands?
Well, the [F#m] nails have turned to rust [E] but not so [C#m] the man [D] he's risen [A] _ and _ reigns
In [F#m] the hearts of the children [E] rising up in his [D] name
Where [A] are the thorns that drew his blood?
[D] Well, the [F#m] thorns have turned to dust but [E] behold [C#m] the love [D] he's [A] given
No, it remains
In the hearts of the children [E] who were loved by the [Bm] nations who _ [C#m] _ _ _ [E] _
raged
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ By the nations who [C#m] raged
[A] _ [E] Where _

[D] Well, the [F#m] nails have turned to rust but [G#m] behold [C#m] the man [D] he's risen _ [A] and _ reigns
In [F#m] the hearts of the children [E] rising up in his [A] name
Where are the thorns that drew his blood?
Well, the [F#m] thorns have turned to dust [E] but not so [C#m] the love [D] he's [A] given
