C9      D9     Em
I was once a dead man 
C9         D9      Em
A stranger with no home 
C9        D9       Em
I stood opposed to God himself 
    C9     D9      Em
And yet He pardoned me

            Em            C9       D9
With all my heart and the fiercest will  
        Em         C9         D9
Desired not but to thieve and kill 
           Em         C9         D9
I hadn't a thought of peace, but war 
              Em       C9     D9
Surrender was not what I'd endure

Em      C9    D9
I was a murderer (filled with lies and deceit)
Em            C9      D9
Faced with my list of crimes  

  Em    C9  G                    D9/F#
Deliver me! Wake me up from this damning sleep 
       Em   C9    G                     D9/F#
I'm surrendering! Pull me out from this wickedness 
Em      C9       G        D9/F#
In this thieving heart of stone 
     Em              C9           G     D9/F#
I realized all these sins I could not atone 

Em      C9    D9
I was a murderer (filled with lies and deceit)
Em            C9      D9
Faced with my list of crimes

C9      D9     Em
I was once a dead man 
C9         D9      Em
A stranger with no home 
C9        D9       Em
I stood opposed to God himself 
    C9     D9      Em
And yet He pardoned me 

Em         C9           G              D9
So just at the right time when we were dead in our sins 
Em            C9          G             D9         Em  C9
You took this heart of mine and gave me life again   
G             D9       Em  C9  G  D9
You gave me life again 

         Em        C9         D9
So far apart and a debt to fulfill 
              Em          C9         D9
This purchase bought on redemption's hill 
            Em        C9      D9
An ailing disease I couldn't cure 
          Em        C9      D9
Oh this grace! How rich and pure! 

( Em  D9  C9  D9 )

Em                        D9
The mob they yelled and screamed for justice 
C9                      D9
That wrath was ours we are to blame 
C9
You made a spectacle of rulers 
C9                        D9
Denying You of a king's fame 
C9                 Em       D9
Having crushed the written canon 
C9                     Em        D9
That wrote of all our guilt and shame 
C9                  Em      D9
Displayed upon the tree it was nailed 
C9                Em       D9
The saving power of Your name 

C9        D9      Em
For I was once a dead man 
C9         D9      Em
A stranger with no home 
C9            D9
You saw this wretch 
        Em
And You gave him life 
C9      D9          Em    D  Em
Forever I'll praise You
       D9     C9
I will praise You
