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