Intro: D 

verse 1 

D 
Fate 
                                 Bm 
Holds nothing on the providence I know 
                                     G2 
No longer bound to things of wood and stone 
                              D 
When all I had to offer was my worst 
    A                              D 
You saw my heavy heart and loved me first 

                                 Bm 
Your beauty staring down my brokenness 
                                          G2 
You chose to throw Your heart into the mess 
                                D 
Compassion crashing down upon my debt 
           Asus 
You were there 

Pre-Chorus 1 

         Bm 
All this time 
        G                        D 
Like a river running through my failure 
    A                   Bm 
You carried me all this time 
              G 
Like the splinters buried in 
         D                Asus 
Your shoulders You carry me now 


     D 
Hallelujah 
                                Asus 
If ever now my heart cries hallelujah 
                                  G 
If ever now in the wonder of Your grace 
                                     D 
A thousand times a thousand years my soul 
      Asus 
Will say 


verse 2 

  D 
Grace 
                                       Bm 
You saw the crushing weight my flesh deserved 
                                         G2 
You kneeled and wrote forgiveness in the dirt 
                                         D 
And one by one the stones fell where they lay 
                                 Bm 
As one by one my accusers walked away 
                                      G 
With nothing left to throw they made a cross 
                                 D 
And knowing only love could count the cost 
           Asus 
You were there 

Pre-Chorus 2 

         Bm 
All this time 
        G                        D 
Like a river running through my failure 
    A                   Bm 
You carried me all this time 
              G 
Like the splinters buried in 
         D 
Your shoulders 
     Asus               Bm 
Your love carried all my shame 
  G                     D 
Jesus how my soul will praise You 
    A                   Bm 
You carried me all this way 
         G 
Like a diamond in the scars upon 
D                       Asus 
  Your crown You carry me now 


     D 
Hallelujah 
                                A 
If ever now my heart cries hallelujah 
                                  G 
If ever now in the wonder of Your grace 
                                     D 
A thousand times a thousand years my soul 
      Asus 
Will say 

     D 
Hallelujah 
                                  Asus 
Forever now in the greatness of my Saviour 
                                     G 
Forever now in the brightness of Your Name 
                                 D 
Jesus on this rock I’ll sing Your praise
