[Verse 1]
Em7I was born under lC2ock and kGey.
My slaveEm7ry was like a fC2riend to mGe.
It's all I Em7knew, like the prC2essing nGight
Until You Em7came and gave me bC2ack my lGife.
This beating hEm7eart was growing fC2ainter sGtill,
Dry from the Em7world and its eC2mpty mGeals.
I tried to Em7rise, but I cC2ould not dGie.
You showed me Em7how and put to dC2eath my pGride.
[Chorus]
Em7He has made the grave to sChudder
And all of Ghell to turn and Drun!
He has Em7looked on me a pCauper
and called me, "GSon!"D  
With a Em7glance He melts the mCountains
That are building in my GheaDrt!
He has given C2me a new Glife
[Verse]
To shine like the Dstars!
Em7You count mC2y hairs
Em7Like You coC2unt the sGtars.
Em7Gave me a nCame
Em7And wrote it oC2n Your hGeart.
Em7What reckless lCove
Em7To give Your lC2ife aGway!
Em7Snatched from the pCit
Em7My sC2oul to-dGay.
[Chorus]
Em7He has made the grave to sChudder
And all of Ghell to turn and Drun!
He has Em7looked on me a pCauper
and called me, "GSon!"D  
With a Em7glance He melts the mCountains
That are building in my GheaDrt!
He has given C2me a new Glife
To shine like the Dstars!
[Bridge]
Em7On the edge of nGight,
Em7Beyond the wGall of sDound,
I'll stay Em7close to You, my CGod,
Em7Lead me to hGigher gDround!
Em7Upward and oC2nward sGtill
Em7To a land bGold and bDright!
Em7My Love, You have cC2ome to sGave
Em7And turn all my wGrongs to rDight!
Em7Woa -oh -oGh
oh oh C2oh oh Doh (x2)
[Chorus]
Em7He has made the grave to sChudder
And all of Ghell to turn and Drun!
He has Em7looked on me a pCauper
and called me, "GSon!"D  
With a Em7glance He melts the mCountains
That are building in my GheaDrt!
He has given C2me a new Glife
To shine like the Dstars!

Em7

[Verse 1]

Em7 C2 G

I was born under lock and key.

Em7 C2 G

My slavery was like a friend to me.

Em7 C2 G

It's all I knew, like the pressing night

Em7 C2 G

Until You came and gave me back my life.

Em7 C2 G

This beating heart was growing fainter still,

Em7 C2 G

Dry from the world and its empty meals.

Em7 C2 G

I tried to rise, but I could not die.

Em7 C2 G

You showed me how and put to death my pride.

[Chorus]

Em7 C

He has made the grave to shudder

G D

And all of hell to turn and run!

Em7 C

He has looked on me a pauper

G D

and called me, "Son!"

Em7 C

With a glance He melts the mountains

G D

That are building in my heart!

C2 G

He has given me a new life

[Verse]

To shine like the stars!

Em7 C2

You count my hairs

Em7 C2 G

Like You count the stars.

Em7 C

Gave me a name

Em7 C2 G

And wrote it on Your heart.

Em7 C

What reckless love

Em7 C2 G

To give Your life away!

Em7 C

Snatched from the pit

Em7 C2 G

My soul to-day.

[Chorus]

Em7 C

He has made the grave to shudder

G D

And all of hell to turn and run!

Em7 C

He has looked on me a pauper

G D

and called me, "Son!"

Em7 C

With a glance He melts the mountains

G D

That are building in my heart!

C2 G

He has given me a new life

To shine like the stars!

[Bridge]

Em7 G

On the edge of night,

Em7 G D

Beyond the wall of sound,

Em7 C

I'll stay close to You, my God,

Em7 G D

Lead me to higher ground!

Em7 C2 G

Upward and onward still

Em7 G D

To a land bold and bright!

Em7 C2 G

My Love, You have come to save

Em7 G D

And turn all my wrongs to right!

Em7 G

Woa -oh -oh

C2 D

oh oh oh oh oh (x2)

[Chorus]

Em7 C

He has made the grave to shudder

G D

And all of hell to turn and run!

Em7 C

He has looked on me a pauper

G D

and called me, "Son!"

Em7 C

With a glance He melts the mountains

G D

That are building in my heart!

C2 G

He has given me a new life

To shine like the stars!
