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