[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:]
Em D
Your death, our bread and wine
C G
Your word, our life divine
Em 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
Em
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
Am
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:]
Em D
Your hands that heal the blind
C G
That placed the stars in line
Em D C
Are reaching out into this heart of mine
Em D
Your voice that calmed the sea
C G
Oh, that told the world to be
Em 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
Em
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
Am
Once again we stand amazed
[Bridge:]
G D
Amazing grace
Em C
You saved our wretched souls
G D
Upon these broken instruments
Em C
You wrote a song that won’t grow old
G D
And amazing love
Em C
You set our hearts in tune
G D Em/C
And so we sing only for you
[x3]
[Pre-Chorus 3:]
Em D
Your blood has paid the debt
C G
Your life has conquered death
Em D C
So when we feel enslaved to our regret
Em D
Your blood has paid the debt
C G
Oh, your life has conquered death
Em 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
Em
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
Am
Once again we stand amazed
