C            G
Take these shoes
 C                        F
Click clacking down some dead end street
C            G
Take these shoes
                C  Am
And make them fit

Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean

Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing

Chorus:
C   G  Am   F
Yahweh, Yahweh
C   G          Am
Always pain before a child is born
C   G  Am   F
Yahweh, Yahweh
C          F       C         C
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don't make a fist, no

Take this mouth
So quick to criticize
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss

Chorus:
C   G  Am   F
Yahweh, Yahweh
C   G          Am
Always pain before a child is born
C   G  Am   F
Yahweh, Yahweh
C          F       C       Am Em F
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
       Dm              Am Em
Still waiting for the dawn
     F              Dm
The sun is coming up

     C
The sun is coming up on the ocean
     Am                          G 
This love is like a drop in the ocean
      Dm                             C
This love is like a drop in the ocean

Chorus:
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, tell me now
Why the dark before the dawn?
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh oh

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will

What no man can own
No man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break
