Intro/Interludes:   G    D/F#    C     G

 

G                             C             G
And can it be that I should gain
      C            G          D/F#
An interest in the Savior's blood?
D/F#             G              G                 D/F#
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
        C              G          D/F#         G
For me, who Him to death pursued?
G                                C        D/F#
Amazing love! how can it be
         G               C                    D/F#    G
That Thou, my God, should die for me?

 

​

     Refrain
       G            D/F#         C       G

      Amazing love! how can it be
               C             G                  D/F#     G
     That Thou, my God, should die for me!

​

  G                             C            G                 
He left His Father's throne above,
      C           G          D/F#
So free, so in — finite His grace;
D/F#              G          G         D/F#
Emptied Himself of all but love,
        C             G           D/F#      G
And bled for Adam's helpless race;
G                           C                  D/F#
'Tis mercy all, immense and free;
        G        C           D/F#         G
For, O my God, it found out me. 

​

     Refrain

 

G                                    C       G
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
        C               G           D/F#
Fast bound in sin and nature's night;
D/F#           G              G               D/F#
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray,
   C                G              D/F#            G
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
G                        C         D/F#
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
  G                 C               D/F#        G
I rose, went forth and followed Thee.

​

     Refrain

​

G                              C          G
No condemnation now I dread;
     C            G      D/F#
Jesus, and all in Him is mine!
D/F#     G             G       D/F#
Alive in Him, my living Head,
          C               G             D/F#    G
And clothed in righteousness divine,
G                                   C          D/F#
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
         G              C                          D/F#        G
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

​

     Refrain
