    G		   D/F#	      Em

Oh Lord, take Your plow to my battleground

	  C2		       G/B	   D

Let Your blade dig down to the soil of my soul

G	   D/F#	         Em		          C2

For I've become dry and dusty, Lord I know there must be

	G/B	     D

Richer earth lying below



Chorus:

	     D/E   Em	   D/C C2

For I've been living in Laodicea

	 G	       D/G	G		        D  C/D D

And the fire that once burned bright, I've let it grow dim

	 C	 D/C  C		        D/E Em		       D

And the very Word I swore that I would die for all has been forgotten

	 C2			 G/C  C

As the world's become my friend

  G2	    D/C C

[ / / / / ][ / / / / ]



We have turned from Your Law to try to find a better way

Each man does today what is right in his own eyes

We will pay the price for our sinning

We can never know true living, we've exchanged His truth for lies



CHORUS ("we")



      F2	      C/E		 G/D     /E

It is no small of a thing that He's done for you

   F2			 C/E		G/D   /D#

By shutting the gates of hell upon the cross

	Em		   Eb	     Bb/D	Bb

We were sentenced once but now we are pardoned

		  C/E		    D/F#

And He chooses to use us though we fall



So while we're living in Laodicea

Keep the fire burning bright, don't let it grow dim

For the very Word we swore that we would die for, it must not be forgotten

Fear the world become a friend

For the very Word we swore that we would die for, it must not be forgotten

Fear the world become a friend

  G2	    D/C C       G2 	  D/C C	     Fmaj7 C/E D7sus C/D   G2
