Where are the nails that pierced His hands

He has given, no it remains 
       F#m7sus	      Dmaj7	        Esus4 E		        VAMP 
In the hearts of the children who will love   while the nations rage 
 
The Lord in heaven laughs, He knows what is to come 
While all the chiefs of state plan their big attacks against His Anointed One 
The church of God she will not bend her knees 
To the gods of this world though they promise her peace 
She stands her ground, stands firm on the Rock 
Watch their walls tumble down when she lives out His love
