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