My City of Ruins

There's a blood red circle

On the cold dark ground

And the rain is falling down

The church door's thrown open

I can hear the organ's song

But the congregation's gone

My city of ruins

My city's in ruins

Now the sweet bells of mercy

Drift through the evening trees

Young men on the corner

Like scattered leaves

The boarded-up windows

In the empty streets

And my brother's down on his knees

My city of ruins

My city's in ruins

Come on, rise up, come on, rise up

Come on, rise up, come on, rise up

Come on, rise up, come on, rise up

Come on, rise up

Now's there's tears on the pillow

Darling, where we slept

And you took my heart when you left

Without your sweet kiss

My soul, it's lost, my friend

Tell me how do I begin again?

My city of ruins

My city's in ruins

And with these hands

With these hands

I pray, Lord

With these hands

With these hands

Pray for the strength, Lord

With these hands

With these hands

Pray for Your love, Lord

With these hands

With these hands

Pray for the lost, Lord

With these hands

With these hands

I pray for the change, Lord

With these hands

With these hands

Pray for the faith, Lord

With these hands

With these hands

Pray for Your love, Lord

With these hands

(With these hands) Come on, come on

Come on, rise up, come on, rise up

Come on, rise up, come on, rise up

Come on, rise up, come on, rise up

Come on, rise up, come on, rise up

Come on, rise up
