C D [Intro - G, C, C/B, D, G]
For one touch from the Kings of kings, changed everything
When I found Jesus, He was heavy on my heart
I was lost for words and didn’t know where to start
All I know is I believe in more than that I did receive
For my sins were paid by the loving blood of Jesus, by the blood of Jesus
He took the weight off my shoulders
He came and gave me rest
He gave me peace from my troubles
Oh Lord I have been blessed; oh Lord I have been blessed
