[Verse 1]
Eb Cm Ab
At the center of my heart there sits a throne

That the rightful occupant's not always

When I spend my time striving

To place the crown upon myself?

Is to break the chains, to rearrange,

Father, use me to be your hands down here

A mirror to reflect your glory into hurting eyes

What right have I to speak the words
Em C
Thy Kingdom Come?
Am Em
And if I am consumed with my own will,

What right to pray Thy Will Be Done?

The same to others you have called me to be

Within our souls: Theocracy
