Boldly I Approach The Art Of Celebration

Here's the title song of the Rend Collective Experiment's album The Art of 
Celebration. It's in the key of Bb, or C tuned down a full step. The (C/E) in 
parentheses in the bridge is only played the first time as a grace-note to the F. God Bless!

The Art of Celebration

[Intro]

Am G F


[Verse 1]

Am        G               F
By grace alone somehow I stand
C/E        Am               G
Where even angels fear to tread
Am       G            F
Invited by redeeming love
C/E         Am             G
Before the throne of God above

   C/E       F          G            Am
He pulls me close with nail-scarred hands
F         G           C
Into His everlasting arms


[Verse 2]

Am          G               F
When condemnation grips my heart
C/E        Am              G
And Satan tempts me to despair
Am          G                   F
I hear the voice that scatters fear
C/E         Am               G
The great I Am, the Lord is here

   C/E         F       G         Am
Oh praise the one who fights for me
F               G          C
And shields my soul eternally


[Chorus]

Am          F            G
Boldly I approach Your throne
Am                 F       G
Blameless now I'm running home
C/E              F
By Your blood I come,
G                 Am
Welcomed as Your own
F                 G  C
Into the arms of majesty


[Verse 3]

Am          G                F
Behold the bright and risen sun
C/E         Am                   G
More beauty than this world has known
Am           G                 F
I'm face to face with love himself
C/E          Am                G
His perfect spotless righteousness

       C/E         F       G         Am
Oh, a thousand years, a thousand tongues
F         G                 C
Are not enough to sing His praise


[Chorus] x2

Am          F            G
Boldly I approach Your throne
Am                 F       G
Blameless now I'm running home
C/E              F
By Your blood I come,
G                 Am
Welcomed as Your own
F                 G  C
Into the arms of majesty


[Break]

C
I'm running into your arms!


[Bridge]

            F       C    G
This is the art of celebration
               F         C     G
Knowing we're free from condemnation
(C/E)F          C
Oh, praise the one,
G          Am
Praise the one,
    F               G      C
Who made an end to all my sin


[Chorus]

C/E         F           G 
Boldly I approach Your throne
Am                 F       G
Blameless now I'm running home
C/E              F
By Your blood I come,
G                 Am
Welcomed as Your own
F                 G   C
Into the arms of majesty
