John Mark McMillan Reckoning Day Lyrics

From "The Medicine"
He's using similar weird chord shapes on this song as on other tracks on The
Medicine. I'm pretty sure he's playing the D and D/C# in a similar pattern,
but I did them in standard shape to make it flow easier.
ch /ch
Bm4 A6sus4 G6 G6/F#
The lions in the street bend their heads for the reckoning day
ch /ch
Bm4 B A6sus4 B G6 G6/F#
Cause the interstate's giving up her dead for the reckoning day
Would you come alive everybody
Would you come alive everyone
ch /ch
Get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung
Bury all your guns in the sand cause the temperature's changed
and the blood shot eye of the sun stains the bones of the slain
Would you come alive everybody
Would you come alive everyone
Get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung
The hour's gonna take you apart on the reckoning day
If the property lines of your heart are drawn in the clay
Would you come alive everybody
Would you come alive everyone
Get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung
The tide water's taxing the shores of the washing away
The flood stands high at your doors of the houses you made
Would you come alive everybody
Would you come alive everyone
Get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung
Lift up your head Oh you gate
Lift up your eyes all you who wait
Daughter and son ashes and dust
Come untied from the weight of the age
Instrumental
Lift up your head Oh you gate
Lift up your eyes all you who wait
Daughter and son ashes and dust

Come untied from the weight of the age
