Verse 1
C Though the Earth Cried G out for blood
Am Satisfied her F hunger was
Her C billows calmed on G raging seas
for the Am souls of men she F craved
C Sun and moon from G balcony
Am Turned their head in F disbelief
Their C precious Love would G taste the sting
disAm figured and disF dained
Chorus
On C Friday a G thief
On F Sunday a C King
C Laid down in G grief
But F awoke with the C keys
Of Am Hell on that G day
The first F born of the C slain
The Am Man Jesus G Christ
Laid F death in his C grave
C G Am F
Verse 2
C So three days in G darkness slept
The Am Morning Sun of F righteousness
But C rose to shame the G throes of death
And Am over turn his F rule
Now C daughters and the G sons of men
Would Am pay not their F dues again
The C debt of blood they G owed was rent
When the Am day rolled aF new
Bridge
F He has cheated
Am Hell and seated
G Us above the F fall
In F desperate places
He Am paid our wages
G One time once and for F all
