Derek Webb - The Church Chords

[Intro]
D  G  A/C#  D  Dsus  D
 
[Verse 1]
        D    A/C#    Bm    A
I have come with one purpose
            G   F#m6 Em11 D   A
To capture for myself a bride
        D  A/C#    Bm   A
By my life she is lovely
      G   F#m6  Em11  D   A
By my death she’s justified
 
[Verse 2]
        D    A/C#    Bm    A
I have always been her husband
            G  F#m6  Em11   D   A
Though many lovers she has known
        D    A/C#    Bm    A
So with water I will wash her
       G  F#m6 Em11  D   A
Oh and by my word alone
 
[Pre-Chorus]
             G    A
So when you hear...
      Bm           G
The sound of the water
          G      A
You will know...
           Bm   A
You’re not alone
 
[Chorus]
                 G         A    D
'Cause I haven’t come for only you
            G     A      Bm
But for my people to pursue
      G             A       D   A/C#       Bm
You cannot care for me with no regard for her
        G                 A        D      G    A/C#
If you love me you will love the church
 
[Verse 3]
       D      A/C#    Bm    A
Oh and I have long pursued her
     G  F#m6 Em11  D   A
As a harlot and a whore
        D       A/C#    Bm    A
Oh but she will feast upon me
         G     F#m6 Em11     D   A
She will drink and thirst no more
 
[Pre-Chorus]
             G    A
So when you taste...
   Bm           G
My flesh and my blood
         G    A
You will know...
           Bm   A
You’re not alone
 
[Chorus]
                 G         A    D
'Cause I haven’t come for only you
            G     A      Bm
But for my people to pursue
      G             A       D   A/C#       Bm
You cannot care for me with no regard for her
        G                 A        D
If you love me you will love the church
 
F#m6     Em11
