[Verse 1]
A Amvoice came and spoke to the Dmsilence
The Gwords took on beauty and Cform
The fAmorm took its shape as a Dmgarden, Ewas born
ThAmen man from the dust came reDmflecting
All Ggoodness and beauty and lCife
BuAmt he, lowered his gaze as he Dmlistened to the face of low Edesires
[Chorus]
AmThis, my soul, you were bForn, you were born iCntoG  
What this Amman has done, it Fall extends to CyouG  
Let the words shake on dAmown along your Fspine, and ring out tCruth that you might Gfind new life
[Verse 2]
The Amvoice came and swords blocked the Dmgarden
GNone could return with their Clives
A cuAmrse, there, was placed upon Dmevery man to face for all of Etime
No Amwisdom of man or reDmbellion
Could deGliver new life out of dCeath
But the vAmoice with the curse spoke a Dmpromise that the Word would take on Eflesh
[Chorus]
AmThis, my soul, you were bForn, you were born iCntoG  
What this Amman has done, it Fall extends to CyouG  
Let the words shake on dAmown along your Fspine, and ring out tCruth that you might Gfind
Let the words shake on dAmown along your Fspine, and ring out tCruth that you might Gfind new life
[Bridge]
AmAnd then the perfect Son oFf Man
He took the place the voice had Cplanned since the garGden and before
AmHe took the swords and cursed the Fgrave
There's nothing more to sepaCrate us from the proEmise...           AmThe Ewords of a living hope
[Chorus]
AmThis, my soul, you were bForn, you were born iCntoG  
What this Amman has done, it Fall extends to CyouG  
Let the words shake on dAmown along your Fspine, and ring out tCruth that you might Gfind
Let the words shake on dAmown along your Fspine, and ring out tCruth that you might Gfind
Let the words shake on dAmown along your Fspine, and ring out tCruth that you might Gfind new life

[Chorus]

Am F C G

This, my soul, you were born, you were born into

What this man has done, it all extends to you

Am F C G

Let the words shake on down along your spine, and ring out truth that you might find new life

[Verse 2]

Am Dm

The voice came and swords blocked the garden

G C

None could return with their lives

Am Dm E

A curse, there, was placed upon every man to face for all of time

No wisdom of man or rebellion

G C

Could deliver new life out of death

Am Dm E

But the voice with the curse spoke a promise that the Word would take on flesh

[Chorus]

Am F C G

This, my soul, you were born, you were born into

Am F C G

What this man has done, it all extends to you

Am F C G

Let the words shake on down along your spine, and ring out truth that you might find

Am F C G

Let the words shake on down along your spine, and ring out truth that you might find new life

[Bridge]

Am F

And then the perfect Son of Man

C G

He took the place the voice had planned since the garden and before

Am F

He took the swords and cursed the grave

C E Am E

There's nothing more to separate us from the promise... The words of a living hope

[Chorus]

Am F C G

This, my soul, you were born, you were born into

Am F C G

What this man has done, it all extends to you

Am F C G

Let the words shake on down along your spine, and ring out truth that you might find

Am F C G
