[Intro] C Am F [Verse 1]
 C                        F
What a friend we have in Jesus,

C                          G
All our sins and griefs to bear!

 C                   F
What a privilege to carry

 C    G               C
Everything to God in prayer

Dm                        C
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,

F         C                G
Oh, what needless pain we bear

 C                     F
all because we do not carry

C    G                  C
everything to God in prayer.

C     G       Gm    A
  I’m living proof

            Dm         C     F      G
Of what the mercy of God can do

       C                     G
If you knew me then, you’d believe me now

Gm                          A
  He turned my whole life upside down

         Dm         C       F     G
Took the old and He made it new

         Am         Dm       C       F     G          C
That's just what the mercy of God can do          (Now I'm...)
[Chorus 1]
          F               C
Now I'm alive to tell the story

    G         Am
How I've over-come

       F                C
By His goodness and mer - cy

        G
And the power of the blood

           F
And I'm so glad that my freedom

       G        E       Am
Wasn't based on what I've done

        F                C
But His goodness and mer - cy

        G            C      G    Gm   A  Dm C    F G
And the power of the blood
[Verse 2]
C            G     Gm    A
  I thought I deserved

      Dm           C       F         G
To be six feet beneath the earth

            C                        G
For all the things I've done and the things I've said

Gm                        A
    The choices made that I regret

Dm            C        F      G
  Oh, I would still be lost

Dm                C        F      G
  Oh, but for the mercy of God
[Chorus 2]
          F               C
Now I'm alive to tell the story

How I've overcome

By His goodness and mercy
