C D Em Em 2x
[Chorus]
C D Em
I was once a dead man

A stranger with no home

And yet He pardoned me
[Interlude 1]

C D Em Em
C
[Verse 1]
D Em C D
With all my heart and the fiercest will
Em C D
Desired not but to thieve and kill
Em G D
I hadn't a thought of peace, but war
Em C D
Surrender was not what I'd endure
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em G D
I was a murderer (filled with lies and deceit)
Em C D
Faced with my list of crimes (that I would always repeat)
[Verse 2]
Em C G D
Deliver me! Wake me up from this damning sleep
Em C G D
I'm surrendering! Pull me out from this wickedness
Em C G D
In this thieving heart of stone
Em C G D
I realized all these sins I could not atone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em G D
I was a murderer (filled with lies and deceit)
Em C D
Faced with my list of crimes (that I would always repeat) and
[Chorus 2]

A stranger with no home
C D Em
I stood opposed to God himself
C D Em
And yet He pardoned me
[Bridge 1]
C G D/F#
So just at the right time when we were dead in our sins
Em C G D Em C
You took this heart of mine and gave me life again
G D Em C G
You gave me life again
[Verse 3]
D Em C D
So far apart and a debt to fulfill
Em C D
This purchase bought on redemption's hill
Em C D
An ailing disease I couldn't cure
Em C D
Oh this grace! How rich and pure!
[Interlude 2]
| Em | D | C | D |
[Bridge 2]
Em D
The mob they yelled and screamed for justice
C D
That wrath was ours we are to blame
Em
You made a spectacle of rulers
D
Denying You of a king's fame
C Em D
Having crushed the written cannon
C Em D
That wrote of all our guilt and shame
C Em D
Displayed upon the tree it was nailed
C Em D
The saving power of Your name
[Chorus 3]
C D Em
And I was once a dead man
C D Em
A stranger with no home
C D
You saw this wretch
Em
And You gave him life
C D Em Em
Forever I'll praise You!
C
I will praise You!
