    Bm       G       A      Em       Bm7    D2      E7


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 people’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
