verse 1:  
F#          F#/A#                  B2  
O what mercy has been granted me  
  
           F#/C#             B/D#  
For the filthy rags I've worn  
  
F#               F#/A#            B2  
Clothed in sacrifice too great to speak  
  
        F#/C#         B/D#  
And of new life reborn  
  
 F#           F#/A#                    B2  
Still my darkness veils all the victories  
  
D#m – C#/F – F# F#/A# B  
That you've seen me through  
  
 F#/C#      F#/A#             B  
The prisons I have counted each  
  
 D#m – C#/F – F# F#/A# B  
A wall of sin so high I cannot reach  
  
F#/C#         Bb7/D       D#m  
Jesus Christ who died for me  
  
F#/A#       B C#           D#m  
Gave his life so that I could be free  
  
 F#/A#       B          C#                 F#  
He gave his life so that I could be free

verse 2:  
They come to you weary broken torn  
And lay their sorrows at your feet  
Parched and hungry for a taste of joy  
And from suffering find retreat  
But our silence veils all the answers  
That they seek from you  
Children cry to see your face  
Poor men desperate for your arms of grace  
Jesus Christ who died for them  
By your scars we pray their wounds will mend  
By your scars we pray their wounds will mend  
  
  
INTERLUDE  
  
  
verse 3:  
Our God of Grace our deliverer  
To you be glory and fame  
All our treasures we have counted loss  
For to surrender is to gain  
Your hope unveils all the answers  
and reveals the truth  
By the cross you made a way  
And you will bring us to your home one day  
Jesus Christ for us you died

And gave the world your love though we denied  
  
 F#/A# B C# F#  
And gave the world your love though we denied
