A LINE OF SACKCLOTH

Jeremiah

Chorus:
(D)Turn your eyes toward Memphis,
The skies are (G)black, black with (D)clouds(C)-(G)-(D).
The skies are red, red with warning,
You shall (G)soon see weeping (D)crowds(C)-(G)-(D).
(G)Because you mis(C)used his prophets
And their (G)warnings you wouldn't (D)hear(C)-(G)-(D).
(D)And when they (C)pleaded you to listen,
(G)You didn't have an (D)ear(C)-(G)-(D).

(D)There's a line of sackcloth
(G)Standing side by (D)side (C)-(G)-(D).
And there is no hidden secret
That their (G)silence is going to (D)hide. (C)-(G)-(D).
For they are (C)mourning the death of a
(G)Nation that just (D)died (C)-(G)-(D).
(D)And there is (C)no great mystery that their
(G)Silence is going to(D) hide(C)-(G)-(D).

[Repeat Chorus]

There's a (D)line of people yoked like
(G)Oxen that you can (D)see (C)-(G)-(D).
And the burden that they're carrying
Repre(G)sents the coming bondage that shall (D)be (C)-(G)-(D).
Because (C)America forgot the God that (G)gave her liber(D)ty (C)-(G)-(D).
The yoke repre(C)sents the coming bondage
That (G)America soon shall (D)see. (C)-(G)-(D).

(D)Death angel coming by,
Their (G)carcasses are fallen in the (D)street(C)-(G)-(D).
Babylon the Great is fallen,
The Lord's (G)enemies are trampled under (D)feet(C)-(G)-(D).
Because you mis(C)used His prophets
And their (G)warning you wouldn't (D)hear(C)-(G)-(D).
And when they (C)pleaded you to listen
(G)You didn't have an (D)ear (C)-(G)-(D).

(D)There's a line of rods standing
(G)Up straight and (D)tall. (C)-(G)-(D).
They represent the coming judgment that
(G)Very soon shall (D)fall (C)-(G)-(D).
Because when A(C)merica forgot God she
(G)Made a very big mis(D)take. (C)-(G)-(D)
And when the (C)Rod of Judgment falls
America the (G)Beautiful you're gonna (D)break. (C)-(G)-(D).

[Repeat Chorus]

(D)But they (C)mocked the mes(G)sengers of (D)God,
(C)And de(G)spised his (D)words
(C)And mis(G)used his (D)prophets,
(C)Until the (G)wrath of the (D)Lord
A(C)rose a(G)gainst his (D)people,
Till there (C)was no (G)reme(D)dy,
Till there (C)was no (G)reme(D)dy,
Till there (C)was no (G)reme(D)dy.
And there (C)is (G)no reme(D)dy. [Repeat till finished]
