Shades Of Mediocrity Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Shades of mediocrity
[Bm]all come floodin' down on me
To [G]hide my eyes
so [Em]I can't see beyond myself
[A]The[G]n there comes this resignation
[A]All the social legislation
[D]That we need to heal
this nation's [G]packaged on a [Em]shelf
Wait[G]ing to be [Em]used to set [A]us free
[D]This old nation, she ain't healing
[Bm]In spite of all these groups appealing
An[G]d all the hate the p[Em]eople's
feeling turns to [A]love
And [G]that must happen one by one
As [A]each one comes to know the sun
The [D]tangle of his life's undone
by [G]power from [Em]above
[G]This is his [Em]gift to you and [D]me
[G]So many [A]people [D]blocking my [Bm]view
So [G]many things to stumble on
But [A]in front of you
[G]If we listen to his call
[D]We can overcome [Bm]them all
[E]That's all we've ever had to [A]do[Cm][Bb]
So par[Eb]don me for my resistance
[Cm]To your efforts and persistence
[Ab]And your doubt of [Fm]God's existence
I know it's [Bb]true
Salva[Ab]tion's free, you can't buy it
[Bb]Trust in Him and He'll supply it
[Eb]If you've got the nerve to try it
[Ab]And you'll have life brand [Fm]new
As you [Ab]lift these shades of [Bb]mediocrity
[Eb]Not so c[Ab]ial legislation
[Bb]Not na t[Eb]ion against na tio[Cm]n
But [Ab]Christ, Son [Bb]of God, is the key
[Eb]He's the k[Cm]ey
Not [Ab]so cial legislation
[Bb]Not nation[Eb] against nation[Cm]
But [Ab]Christ, the Son of [Bb]God, He is the [Eb]key
Not [Ab]so cial legislation,
[Bb]not na t[Eb]ion against nation,[Cm]
but [Ab]Christ, the Son [Bb]of God, He is the key.
Not [Ab]social legisla[Bb]tion,
not [Eb]nation against [Cm]na tion,
but [Ab]Christ, the Son of God, He is the key.
