Key     : C
[Intro]
C     Am7     F     C
[Verse 1]
In my Csorrows the depths of my despair
Under Am7burdens that only You could bear
And when FI had all but given up, I saw LCove
[Verse 2]
In the sChadows blinded and afraid
With the Am7debt that only You could pay
In the dFarkness broken and undone
I saw CLovGe
[Chorus]
When the SCon was lifted up I felt new breath inside my lungs
When the Am7Son was lifted up I saw my shame where He was hung
When the SFon was lifted up I heard His vDm7oice crying “It is Done!”
I saw CLovGe    
[Verse 2]
Stripped and bCeaten, nailed upon a tree
In my pAm7lace, He drank the cup for me
Flowing dFown, the water and the blood
I saw CLovGe
[Chorus 2]
When the SCon was lifted up I felt new breath inside my lungs
When the Am7Son was lifted up I saw my shame where He was hung
When the SFon was lifted up I heard His vDm7oice crying “It is Done!”
I saw CLovGe        
When the SCon was lifted up I saw the stone was rolled away
And the cAm7hains that held my heart He left inside that empty grave
When the SFon was lifted up I looked upon Dm7my Savior’s face
I saw CLovGe
[To Bridge]
I saw CLovGe yeCah
[Bridge]
Oh KDm7ing of Gsus4Love,  You have Am7won my heCart
Oh KDm7ing of Gsus4Love,  You have Am7won my heCart
Oh KDm7ing of Gsus4Love,  You have Am7won my heCart
Oh KDm7ing of Gsus4Love,  You have Am7won my heF2art
[Chorus 3]
When the SCon was lifted up I felt new breath inside my lungs
When the Am7Son was lifted up I saw my shame where He was hung
When the C/GSon was lifted up I heard His vFoice crying “It is Done!”
I saw Dm7LovGe        
When the SCon was lifted up I saw the stone was rolled away
And the cAm7hains that held my heart He left inside that empty grave
When the SFon was lifted up I looked upon Dm7my Savior’s face
I saw CLovGe
I saw FLovGe
