Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I w[D]as o[A]nce a dead man[Bm]
[G]A stranger with [A]no [Bm]home
[D]I stood opposed to God him[Bm]self
And [D]yet He [A]pardoned [D]me

[Interlude 1]
[G][A][Bm]
[G][A][Bm][G][A]
[Bm][G]
With [A]all my

[Verse 2]
[D]heart and [A]the fiercest will
[D]Desir[A]ed not[D] but to thieve and[A] kil[D]l
I hadn't a [Bm]thought of [D]peace,
but [A]war
Surrender was not [Bm]what [G]I'd endure

[Verse 3]
[A]I was [Bm]a murd[G]erer fille[A]d
with [D]lies and [Bm]deceit
Faced with my [G]list of [A]crimes that
I would [D]always re[Bm]peat
Deliver [A]me!

[Verse 4]
[Bm]Wake me
up from this damning sleep
I'm surrender[A]ing! [Bm]Pull
me out from this [A]wickedness
[Bm]In this thieving heart
[A]of [Bm]stone[D]
I real[Bm]ized all these sins [A]I
could [Bm]not [A]atone

[Verse 5]
[Bm]I was a murd[D]erer f[A]illed
with lies and deceit
[Bm]Faced with my list[G] of crim[A]es
that I would always re[G]peat
I [A]was once a dead

[Verse 6]
[Bm]man
[G]A stranger [A]with [Bm]no home
[G]I stood op[A]posed [Bm]to God himself
And [G]yet He [A]pardoned [Bm]me

[Verse 7]
So just at the right [Bm]time when
we were [A]dead in [Bm]our sins
You took this heart of mine
and gave me [A]life again
You gave me life again
This is [D]where I begin
So [A]far apart

[Verse 8]
[G]and a deb[A]t to fulfil[Bm]l
This purchase [G]bought on
redemp[A]tion's hill
[Bm]An a[D]iling dise[G]ase I co[A]uldn't c[Bm]ure
Oh [D]this [G]grace! How [A]rich and pure!

[Verse 9]
[Bm]Abide in me,
my God! I [D]am found in [Bm]You
Pardon me, my God! You know
[G]my deepest [Bm]thoughts
Deliver me from sin! I [D]am made anew
[A]I'm surren[Bm]dering this heart! For which
[G]your [A]blood [Bm]it[A][G]
[A]bought

[Verse 10]
[Bm]The mob they yelled and
screamed [A]for justice
[G]That wrath was ours we are [A]to blame
[D]You made a spectacle of rulers
Denying You of a king's [G]fame
Having crushed [A]the written can[D]non
[Bm]That wrote of all our guilt
[A]and [D]shame[A][G]
Displayed upon the tree
[A]it was [D]nailed[Bm]
The saving power of [A]Your [D]name

[Verse 11]
[G]For I was [A]once a [Bm]dead man
[G]A stranger [A]with no [Bm]home
You [G]saw this [A]wretch
And You [Bm]gave him life
[G]Forever [A]I'll praise [Bm]You!
I will [A]praise [G]You!
