[Verse 1:]
D
Your grace is still a mystery
E
That you would save a wretch like me
D A
No love goes deeper
D E
No song sounds sweeter
D
And we confess our wandering eyes
E
Have turned to sin a thousand times
D A
We sing together
D E
Your love tastes better
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
F#m E
Your death, our bread and wine
D A
Your word, our life divine
F#m E D
So when you’re not the center of our minds
E
Take us back
[Chorus:]
A E
We will cling to the cross despised and rugged
A E
We will stare at the name inscribed above it
F#m
This is Christ the king of the Jews
D
He’s the one, who sinners call beloved
A E
Then we run to the tomb where sin was laid
A E
Where the stone on our heart was rolled away
E
Oh the blessed joy that meets us here
D A
When we see the savior’s face
Bm
Once again we stand amazed
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2:]
A
And when the world tempts us to fall
E
And tells us you’re not worth it all
D A
We might be shaken
D E
But we’re not forsaken
A
And when the sorrows like pillars roll
E
And drown the music in our souls
D A
What hope relieves us?
D E
To see you Jesus
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
F#m E
Your hands that heal the blind
D A
That placed the stars in line
F#m E D
Are reaching out into this heart of mine
F#m E
Your voice that calmed the sea
D A
Oh, that told the world to be
F#m E D
Is whispering a peace inside of me
E
It takes me back
[Chorus:]
A E
We will cling to the cross despised and rugged
A E
We will stare at the name inscribed above it
F#m
This is Christ the king of the Jews
D
He’s the one, who sinners call beloved
A E
Then we run to the tomb where sin was laid
A E
Where the stone on our heart was rolled away
E
Oh the blessed joy that meets us here
D A
When we see the savior’s face
Bm
Once again we stand amazed
[Bridge:]
A E
Amazing grace
F#m D
You saved our wretched souls
A E
Upon these broken instruments
F#m D
You wrote a song that won’t grow old
A E
And amazing love
F#m D
You set our hearts in tune
A E F#m/D
And so we sing only for you
[x3]
[Pre-Chorus 3:]
F#m E
Your blood has paid the debt
D A
Your life has conquered death
F#m E D
So when we feel enslaved to our regret
F#m E
Your blood has paid the debt
D A
Oh, your life has conquered death
F#m E D
So when the devil tempts us to forget
A
Would you take us back?
[Chorus:]
A E
We will cling to the cross despised and rugged
A E
We will stare at the name inscribed above it
F#m
This is Christ the king of the Jews
D
He’s the one, who sinners call beloved
A E
Then we run to the tomb where sin was laid
A E
Where the stone on our heart was rolled away
E
Oh the blessed joy that meets us here
D A
When we see the savior’s face
Bm
Once again we stand amazed
