verse 1 
Bm        G            A 
I find it difficult to place myself 
Bm     G           A 
at the foot of the cross 
Bm     G             Em 
When I truly stop to think about 
    G              D 
the bloody mess of human flesh 
   G 
My heart just stops 

Bm          G                     A 
Betrayed by those who claimed to know him well 
Bm          G            A            
Not showing any sense of loss 
Bm           G                 Em 
Would I have partnered in the cowardice? 
    G          D                       A 
And run away afraid I might assume the cost 


Chorus 1 
       D                   Em 
What a gracious and loving God 
                   G        A 
who would give his life for me 
     D                         Em 
Even though he knows me to the depths of my soul 
       G          A 
He has set me free 
          Bm 
So I will take this bread 
           Bm7 
and I will take this blood 
     D2                     E7         G 
Even though I could never deserve this love 
       Em           D      G 
What a gracious and loving God 
          A        Bm 
who would give his life for me 


verse 2 
Bm           G            A 
It must have been amazing scenery 
Bm         G              A 
to see the ever-darkening skies 
Bm        G                Em 
But I can scarcely wrap my mind around 
    G                Bm                A 
The moment when they drove the spear into his side 

Bm          G               A 
The mess of blood and water pouring down 
Bm          G                A    
The haunted look in peopleâ??s eyes 
Bm         G         Em 
Would they ever even realize 
    G                D               A 
the one they turned away had come to save their lives? 


Chorus 1 


BRIDGE 
Em                    G                         
There is not a single sound that I could utter 
Em                        Bm     
That would be adequate at best 
Em                        G 
To bring relief from the emotion deep inside me 
Em          G            A 
The words I wish I could express 


Chorus 2 
       D                   Em 
What a gracious and loving God 
                   G        A 
who would give his life for me 
     D                         Em 
Even though he knows me to the depths of my soul 
       G          A 
He has set me free 
          Bm 
So I will take this bread 
           Bm7 
and I will take this blood 
     D                      G          A 
Even though I could never deserve this love 
       Em           D      G 
What a gracious and loving God 
       Em           D      G 
What a gracious and loving God 
       Em               D      G 
What a gracious, what a loving God 
          A        Bm 
who would give his life for me
