Chords

[Intro] C D Em C D G [Verse]
         C                       G
So many years I cried 'cause my soul denied

     C                           G
That He would save a wretch like me

             C                     G
So full of gloom and dread that I hung my head

   A                       D
I wouldn't claim the victory

          G
Then one day His love like a winged dove

                      C
Settled down upon my life

                       G
And I realized he had authorized

    D             G
My ticket to paradise
[Chorus]
        G
On the authority of the Holy Word

   C                    G
I rise up and take my stand

        G                               Em
I'm a blood bought child of the living God

     A              D
Who is the Great I Am

        Dm               G
I'm an heir to all that heaven holds

     C            A
And no principality

          G     F      E
Can ever take away my royal crown

[Verse]
           C           G
It's a mystery why He came to me

    C                           G
Why He would choose me for His own

        C                    G
Why He pulled me out of the lake of doubt

        A                  D
Set me right beside His throne

        G
Why he guaranteed, with His seal decreed

                   C
My inheritance by right

         C                       G
I'm His favored child, and that makes me smile

         D               G
I'm the center of His delight
[Chorus]
           G
