Capo 3
[Intro with whistling]
G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
GGod of Emlove You Cadd9came to Emearth
Born in a Dmanger, the Cadd9incarnate GWord
Full of Emgrace, and Cadd9full of Emtruth
You healed the Dleper, You Cadd9made all things Gnew
DReligion Emdespised Your Cadd9word of Glove
CoDndemned You to Emdie in YouCadd9r innoGcence
A crown of Emthorns and Cadd9mockeEmry
Were Yours my DSaviour, my Cadd9precious KGing
[Interlude]
G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G
[Verse 2]
GStained with Emblood and Cadd9bruised with Empain
The Lamb of DGod on a Cadd9cross of Gshame
Never Embefore and Cadd9never Emagain
Was love so Dgreat, was Cadd9death so Ggrim
DThere on the Emhill You Cadd9died for Gme
You Dtook my Emsin, gave Cadd9me liberGty
I'll never Emboast but Cadd9in Your Emcross
And all my Dgains I now Cadd9count as Gloss
[Interlude]
G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G
[Verse 3]
GWhen sins they Emrob my Cadd9heart of Emjoy
And condemDnation seems to Cadd9steal even Gmore
This I Emrecall, Cadd9You rose Emagain
And I rose with DYou, halleCadd9lujah Gamen
So if I Dlive in Emwant, or Cadd9die in Gshame
To Dlive is EmYou and to Cadd9die is Ggain
I in EmYou and Cadd9You in Emme
My God, my DBrother, my Cadd9IdentiGty
[Verse 4]
Were I Gtempted with the Embest of earth
All it's Cadd9pleasures and all it's Emgold
And if fame in all it's Dkingdoms
Was Cadd9in my hands to Ghold
I'd scorn it all for You've Emgiven me
The Cadd9treasure of Your EmSon
And now I'm richer than the Drichest
For You've Cadd9given me Your Glove
[Outro]
G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G

Capo 3

[Intro with whistling]

G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G

[Verse 1]

G Em Cadd9 Em

God of love You came to earth

D Cadd9 G

Born in a manger, the incarnate Word

Em Cadd9 Em

Full of grace, and full of truth

D Cadd9 G

You healed the leper, You made all things new

D Em Cadd9 G

Religion despised Your word of love

D Em Cadd9 G

Condemned You to die in Your innocence

Em Cadd9 Em

A crown of thorns and mockery

D Cadd9 G

Were Yours my Saviour, my precious King

[Interlude]

G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G

[Verse 2]

G Em Cadd9 Em

Stained with blood and bruised with pain

D Cadd9 G

The Lamb of God on a cross of shame

Em Cadd9 Em

Never before and never again

D Cadd9 G

Was love so great, was death so grim

D Em Cadd9 G

There on the hill You died for me

D Em Cadd9 G

You took my sin, gave me liberty

Em Cadd9 Em

I'll never boast but in Your cross

D Cadd9 G

And all my gains I now count as loss

[Interlude]

G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G

[Verse 3]

G Em Cadd9 Em

When sins they rob my heart of joy

D Cadd9 G

And condemnation seems to steal even more

Em Cadd9 Em

This I recall, You rose again

D Cadd9 G

And I rose with You, hallelujah amen

D Em Cadd9 G

So if I live in want, or die in shame

D Em Cadd9 G

To live is You and to die is gain

Em Cadd9 Em

I in You and You in me

D Cadd9 G

My God, my Brother, my Identity

[Verse 4]

G Em

Were I tempted with the best of earth

Cadd9 Em

All it's pleasures and all it's gold

And if fame in all it's kingdoms

Cadd9 G

Was in my hands to hold

I'd scorn it all for You've given me

Cadd9 Em

The treasure of Your Son

And now I'm richer than the richest

Cadd9 G

For You've given me Your love

[Outro]

G Em Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G
