Em C Am
You're coming to judge the living and dead
Em
The rich and the poor are the same in your eyes
C Am
You're coming to make these crooked paths straight
Em
And make the wrong things right; turn dark into light
C Am
When you're judging these things have mercy on me
Em C
I am no better than those I've despised all my life
Am Em
Have mercy on me
