Picket Sign
by Matt Maher

Album: Echoes - Deluxe

Verse 1
This is Your protest, this is Your stand
Your blood poured out for the blood on our hands
For the accused and all the oppressed
For every heart hanging on by a thread

Chorus 1
The cross leapt in like a picket sign
You carried the weight for all mankind
You gave Your life just to give me mine
Your love leapt in like a picket sign

Verse 2
You are the voice for those who can't speak
You march for love, You walk with the weak
You call for justice, Your kingdom come
In Jesus name, our chains are undone

Chorus 1
The cross leapt in like a picket sign
You carried the weight for all mankind
You gave Your life just to give me mine
Your love leapt in like a picket sign

Bridge
Aaa-a-a-amen, aaa-a-a-amen
Aaa-a-a-amen, aaa-a-a-amen

Chorus 2
The cross leapt in like a picket sign
You carried the weight for all mankind
You gave Your life just to give me mine
Your love leapt in like a picket sign
Both arms reaching for the other side
Your love leapt in like a picket sign

Outro
Aaa-a-a-amen, aaa-a-a-amen
Aaa-a-a-amen, aaa-a-a-amen
