Verse1
  I Bsussaid you gotta leave, you gotta F#promise me,
                                       EbmC#sus      
  It's the beginning of my end, you gotta promise me,
  How can a Bsusholy God renew a wF#icked Pharisee,
                      Ebm                      C#sus  (let ring)
  I'm sayin' I'm like Peter in the boat so just depart from me.
  It seems I'm Bsusdestined for doom like F#ancient prophecy,
                                      EbmC#sus
  And in the dark I'm consumed, it's just too much for me,
  With sin in Bsusfull bloom my gloom F#booms by the full moon,
          Ebm                         C#sus  (let ring)
  And I'm thinkin' to myself, “How can You rescue me?”
CHORUS
       Ebm                  Bsus      F#C#sus
       My before and after,       I can't but sing.

             Ebm         Bsus             F#C#sus
       One love, two arms, three scars,  Draw us to where You are,
              Ebm           Bsus            F#C#sus  (let ring)

  You put Your hand upon my wound and whispered, “Rest in Me.”
  And there I Bsusstepped out of the tomb and inF#to destiny,

  Your grace is such a mystery.
