Intro – Ebm * Bsus * F# * C#sus (x2)
Verse1
Bsus F#
I said you gotta leave, you gotta promise me,
Ebm C#sus
It's the beginning of my end, you gotta promise me,
Bsus F#
How can a holy God renew a wicked Pharisee,
Ebm C#sus (let ring)
I'm sayin' I'm like Peter in the boat so just depart from me.
Bsus F#
It seems I'm destined for doom like ancient prophecy,
Ebm C#sus
And in the dark I'm consumed, it's just too much for me,
Bsus F#
With sin in full bloom my gloom booms by the full moon,
Ebm C#sus (let ring)
And I'm thinkin' to myself, “How can You rescue me?”

My before and after, I'll sing praises to my King.
Ebm Bsus F# C#sus
My before and after, Here's the anthem, let it ring,
Ebm Bsus F# C#sus
One love, two arms, three scars, Draw us to where You are,

C#sus interlude (one bar)
Verse 2
Bsus F#
Then in the darkness of this room You snuck up next to me,
Ebm C#sus
You put Your hand upon my wound and whispered, “Rest in Me.”

And there I stepped out of the tomb and into destiny,
Ebm
the rest they say is history,
C#sus (let ring)
Your grace is such a mystery.

This is easiest to play with a Capo on 2. (Chords are not relative to that, these
are the true chords.)
