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