SGM has like 4 or 5 different chord sheets for this song, so I just took what I
like best out of each of them and made a version that sounds most like what I
remember hearing when it was first played at the NEXT conference. Also, if you are
playing with other instruments, it sounds really good to just hang on D/Dsus/D2
for the third line of the verse and then play Bm Bm G A for the last line. Enjoy!
Key of D
Verse 1:
A Bm G D
I once was lost in darkest night yet thought I knew the way
Em G A Asus D
The sin that promised joy and life had led me to the grave
A Bm G D
I had no hope that you would own a rebel to your will
A Bm G A
And if you had not loved me first I would refuse you still
Verse 2:
A Bm G D
But as I ran my hell-bound race indifferent to the cost
Em G A Asus D
You looked upon my helpless state and led me to the cross
A Bm G D
And I beheld Gods love displayed you suffered in my place
A Bm G A
You bore the wrath reserved for me now all I know is grace
Chorus:
G D A Bm
Hallelujah! All I have is Christ!
G Bm A D
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life!
Verse 3:
A Bm G D
Now Lord I would be yours alone and live so all might see
Em G A Asus D
The strength to follow your commands could never come from me
A Bm G D
O father use my ransomed life in any way you choose
A Bm G A
And let my song forever be my only boast is you
