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