Derek Walsh Webb (born May 27, 1974 in Memphis, Tennessee) is a singer-songwriter, and a part-time member of the band Caedmon's Call. In 2003, Derek left Caedmon's Call to pursue a solo career with the exception of occasionally still touring and singing with them.

Am C C/G F F2 F F2 F
I have come to give you life
Am C C/G F F2 F F2 F
And to show you how to live it
Am C C/G F F2 F F2 F
I have come to make things right

Am D7 G Gsus G
My enemies are men like me
Am C C/G F F2 F F2 F
Peace by way of war
Am C C/G F F2 F F2 F
Is like purity by way of fornication

And then showing them by way of execution
Dm Dm/C G Gsus G (2x)
