and though I cherish you, I must now offer you

and though I cherish you, I will now offer you
F# B
for surely he could raise you up again

Oh son you must believe He's called us to obey

And by His love, He'll make a better way
[Chorus 1]

and though I cherish you, I must now offer you

when God the Father sacrificed his only son

and so I cherish you, and so I honour you

your sacrifice is now the king of kings.

Jehovah-Jireh, he has provided
F# E B
the sacrifice of love no man could ever pay
Em B C#m
and what he requires of you and me, even the hardest things
F# C#m Em B
your blood of christ, your sacrifice gives me strength to obey
