Chords

The A, B, C#m chords here are played like barre chords on 5th, 7th, and 9th frets, respectively, but the 1st and 2nd strings are left open. [Verse]
E                                   B
I was an orphan, lost at the fall; running away when I'd hear you call,

A                           E
But Father, you worked your will.

E
I had no righteousness of my own

B
I had no right to draw near your throne,

A                        E
But Father, you loved me still.
[Chorus 1]
       C#m                                   A
And in love, before you laid the world's foundation,

       C#m         B               A
You predestined to adopt me as your own.

         C#m                           A
You have raised me up so high above my station;

       C#m            B                A
I'm a child of God by grace, and grace alone
[Verse 2]
E
You left your home to seek out the lost;

B
You knew the great and terrible cost

A                         E
But Jesus, your face was set.

E
I worked my fingers down to the bone;

B
Nothing I did could ever atone,

A                   E
Jesus, you paid my debt.
[Chorus 2]
        C#m                            A
By your blood I have redemption and salvation.

         C#m                B                  A
Lord you died that I might reap what you have sown,

        C#m                            A
And you rose that I might be a new creation.

        C#m         B                A
I am born again by grace, and grace alone.
[Bridge]
E
I was darkness all of my life,

B
I never knew the day from the night,

A                       E
But Spirit, you made me see.

E
I swore I knew the way on my own;

B
Head full of rocks, a heart made of stone

A                        E
But Spirit, you moved in me.
[Chorus 3]
            C#m                           A
And At your touch my sleeping spirit was awakened;

      C#m                 B                  A
On my darkened heart the light of Christ has shone.

         C#m                       A
Called into a kingdom that cannot shaken;

C#m                 B                 A
Heaven's citizen by grace, and grace alone.
[Tag]
          C#m             B                 A
So I'll stand in faith by grace, and grace alone

         C#m               B                 A
I will run the race by grace, and grace alone

          C#m          B                  A
I will slay my sin by grace, and grace alone

          C#m              B              A
I will reach the end by grace, and grace alone
