Capo IV

[Intro]

C D Em Em 2x


[Chorus]

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


[Interlude 1]

[Verse 1]

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


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Em       G    D
 I was a murderer (filled with lies and deceit)
Em            C       D
Faced with my list of crimes (that I would always repeat) 


[Verse 2]

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


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Em       G    D
 I was a murderer (filled with lies and deceit)
Em            C       D
Faced with my list of crimes (that I would always repeat) and


[Chorus 2]

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


[Bridge 1]

            C             G             D/F#
 So just at the right time when we were dead in our sins
Em             C            G            D    Em  C 
 You took this heart of mine and gave me life again
G            D    Em C  G 
 You gave me life again


[Verse 3]

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


[Interlude 2]

| G | D | C | D |


[Bridge 2]

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


[Chorus 3]

   C     D      Em
And I was once a dead man
  C        D       Em
A stranger with no home
    C        D
You saw this wretch

        Em 
And You gave him life
   C    D           Em   Em
Forever I'll praise You! 
       C    
I will praise You!
