Fm B Fm B
B FmBehold my hands and my feet
CbThat it is I, myself
GHandle me and see
For a spirit hath not flesh and bones
BAs you see me have
FmI bled for love, not for your war-cries
CbI rose for mercy, not for your flags
GYou say it's in my name
BBut I never said that-
[Verse 1]
BOhhh you build your towers
FmRaise your flags so high
CbPreach my name with a battle cry
GBut blessed are the peacemakers, that's what I said
BNot the ones who trade the living for the dead!
FmYou close your doors when the poor come to plead
CbI was hungry and you gave me no food
GI was in need! You quote quote my words
BTo tighten your chains, but "love your enemy"
BStill remains...
[Chorus 1]
B FmI never said "hate them"
CbI never said "fight"
GI said let your light shine
BBefore all man, bring them light!
FmIf you Do it for power
CbYou've forgotten my face
GFor whatever you Do to the least of these
BYou Do to me... yeah
[Verse 2]
Fm You guard your gold and curse the weak
CbBut the meek shall inherit the earth, I speak
G
You call Bm sinners while you stand tall
BBut let he without sin cast the first stone, that's all
Fm You pray in public with words rehearsed
CbBut when you pray Go in secret first
GYou wear your cross like a sword in your hand
BBut I carried mine through the blood and the sand
[Chorus 2]
B FmI never said "hate them"
CbI never said "fight"
GI said turn the other cheek
BAnd walk in the light!
FmIf you Do it for power
CbYou've forgotten my face
GFor whatever you Do to the least of these
BYou Do in my place
[Bridge]
Cb The last shall be first
FmAnd the first shall be last
Cb But you've built you thrones
FmTo make that pass
CbNo one can serve two masters
FmI told you plain
CbYet you still bow down to fortune
BAnd fame! Woaaah...
[Chorus]
B FmI never said "hate them"
CbI never said "fight"
GI said love one another
BAs I have loved you, that's right!
FmYou wear my name but not my grace
CbFor I was the refugee you turned away
GThe migrant mother with no place to stay
BFor whatever you Do to the least of these
FmYou Do to me
[Outro]
Fm B For I was a stranger
Fm B FmAnd you didn't take me-ee... in.
