VERSE 1: 
F#          F#/A#                  B2 O what mercy has been granted me 
 
           F#/C#             B/D# For the filthy rags I've worn 
 
F#               F#/A#            B2 Clothed in sacrifice too great to speak 
 
        F#/C#         B/D# And of new life reborn 
 
 F#           F#/A#                    B2 Still my darkness veils all the victories 
 
D#m – C#/F – F# F#/A# B That you've seen me through 
 
 F#/C#      F#/A#             B The prisons I have counted each 
 
 D#m – C#/F – F# F#/A# B A wall of sin so high I cannot reach 
 
F#/C#         Bb7/D       D#m Jesus Christ who died for me 
 
F#/A#       B C#           D#m Gave his life so that I could be free

VERSE 2: 
They come to you weary broken torn 
And lay their sorrows at your feet 
Parched and hungry for a taste of joy 
And from suffering find retreat 
But our silence veils all the answers 
That they seek from you 
Children cry to see your face 
Poor men desperate for your arms of grace 
Jesus Christ who died for them 
By your scars we pray their wounds will mend 
By your scars we pray their wounds will mend 
 
 
INTERLUDE 
 
 
VERSE 3: 
Our God of Grace our deliverer 
To you be glory and fame 
All our treasures we have counted loss 
For to surrender is to gain 
Your hope unveils all the answers 
and reveals the truth 
By the cross you made a way 
And you will bring us to your home one day 
Jesus Christ for us you died 
 
 F#/A# B C# D#m And gave the world your love though we denied 
 
 F#/A# B Bb7/D D#m And gave the world your love though we denied 
 
 F#/A# B C# F# And gave the world your love though we denied
