O Beloved

 
     Am     Dm   E               Am F   E         Am 
Oh beloved, oh beloved; nailed unto the cross for me 
       Am       Dm      E                Am F    E      Am 
O what sin hast Thou committed; Thou who callest all to be. 
     C      F         G        E         Am      F         E 
Oh beloved, wish that I could; spend the rest of life with Thee 
       Am   C     Dm   E        Asus2  Am F       E         Am 
Worshipping Thine holy passion, cru-ci-fy-ing the flesh for Thee. 
 

 
         Am   Dm   E                 Am  F   E       Am 
Daughter of Zion behold Me; stricken and smitten for Thee 
           Am     Dm      E               Am   F  E       Am 
Friend and kin, I have forsaken; there is none to comfort me. 
     C         F         G          E    Am        F         E 
All alone I'll tread the winepress, all alone I'll drink the cup 
         Am C         Dm      E       Asus2  Am    F   E       Am 
Shedding my blood for Thee to ransom, and my flesh for Thee to sup. 
 

 
      Am         Dm    E                 Am  F    E     Am 
I was bound, and I was smitten, and they did spit in my face. 
      Am            Dm    E               Am F      E       Am 
I was stripped, and I was scourged, I was condemned in your place. 
            C       F        G       E       Am        F    E 
Your sins became my crown of thorns; Oh that you would understand 
      Am   C   Dm    E    Asus2    Am   F    E     Am 
Every time you sin a new, it's one more nail in my hand. 
 

 
       Am           Dm     E                 Am   F     E     Am 
Like a lamb brought to the slaughter, like a pure sheep to be sheared. 
        Am     Dm        E              Am  F      E          Am 
King, Creator, Lord, and Master, by His creatures, mocked and jeered. 
            C            F       G         E      Am      F     E 
Despised, rejected, with grief acquainted, and of men was not esteemed. 
            Am  C    Dm     E        Asus2     Am  F       E       Am 
Bruised and wounded, sore afflicted, yet, with His stripes we were healed 
 

 
       Am      Dm   E                   Am    F    E    Am 
Lord create in us a fountain; that with tears will ever flow. 
      Am       Dm        E               Am F       E    Am 
And a heart contrite and broken, and the spirit within renew. 
        C        F        G      E    Am       F           E 
Oh that we could shed the tears, over Thy feet pierced and bruised 
        Am C  Dm     E       Asus2   Am   F    E      Am 
Oh that we al-ways remember, for our sins Thou were abused.
