[Intro]
E C#m
[Verse 1]
Oh, C#mAbraham would raise his hands
And mourn this very day
For his children left the promise land
In search of their own way
And they kC#mick and scream like wayward sons
And always wanting to sleep
And dream away these evil days
In hopes that God can't see
[Pre-Chorus]
AChains upon Your children, Lord
A#mChains upon Your children
AChains upon Your children, Lord
BChains!
[Chorus]
C#mDo you hear the lion roar?
Awake O SleEeper
C#mStand with me we'll fight the war
Awake O SleEeper
[Verse 2]
C#mYour suffering will come again
And never fall away
Unless we trade our many comforts
Like the ones who bled for grace
C#mThere will be a day my God will come
And put me in my place
My God I know, You'll call my name
You will not turn away
[Pre-Chorus]
AChains upon Your children, Lord
F#mChains upon Your children
No more chAains upon Your children, Lord
BChains!
