[Verse 1:]
A#
Your grace is still a mystery
C
That you would save a wretch like me
A# F
No love goes deeper
A# C
No song sounds sweeter
A#
And we confess our wandering eyes
C
Have turned to sin a thousand times
A# F
We sing together
A# C
Your love tastes better
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Dm C
Your death, our bread and wine
A# F
Your word, our life divine
Dm C A#
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
Dm
This is Christ the king of the Jews
A#
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
A# F
When we see the savior’s face
Gm
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
A# F
We might be shaken
A# C
But we’re not forsaken
F
And when the sorrows like pillars roll
C
And drown the music in our souls
A# F
What hope relieves us?
A# C
To see you Jesus
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Dm C
Your hands that heal the blind
A# F
That placed the stars in line
Dm C A#
Are reaching out into this heart of mine
Dm C
Your voice that calmed the sea
A# F
Oh, that told the world to be
Dm C A#
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
Dm
This is Christ the king of the Jews
A#
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
A# F
When we see the savior’s face
Gm
Once again we stand amazed
[Bridge:]
F C
Amazing grace
Dm A#
You saved our wretched souls
F C
Upon these broken instruments
Dm A#
You wrote a song that won’t grow old
F C
And amazing love
Dm A#
You set our hearts in tune
F C Dm/A#
And so we sing only for you
[x3]
[Pre-Chorus 3:]
Dm C
Your blood has paid the debt
A# F
Your life has conquered death
Dm C A#
So when we feel enslaved to our regret
Dm C
Your blood has paid the debt
A# F
Oh, your life has conquered death
Dm C A#
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
Dm
This is Christ the king of the Jews
A#
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
A# F
When we see the savior’s face
Gm
Once again we stand amazed
