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