Verse 1:
C I was looking for excuses G G# And you offered me my soul A In the name of all my weakness D In the name of rock 'n roll E7 By His sickness I am healed Fm ‘Cause they broke you I am whole E7 Fm G C Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus
Verse 2:
C I went looking for the fig leaves G G# And you asked me what they're for A I was building up a wall D And you offered me a door E7 I was hoping for silver spoons Fm But you handed me a sword E7 Fm G C Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus
Chorus 1:
D A Maker is unmade E7 F Love succumbs to hate G C Life Himself is slain E7 Is death the only way? E7 Is death the only way?
Verse 3:
C I went looking for religion G G# Absolutely not a friend A* I went looking for ways out D And you showed me the way in E7 I went looking for a ghost Fm And instead I found a man E7 Fm G C Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus
Verse 4:
C Felt like I was at the end G G# Felt like giving up on life A* I talked about your mother D* And denied you once or twice E7 Yeah, I plucked out your beard Fm Put a sword into your side E7 Fm G C Oh, the wonderful of Jesus
Chorus 2:
D A Life and love are torn E7 Fm By the blades of earthly swords G C We cut the final cord E7 This is mercy's war E7 It's mercy's war
Verse 5:
C I was chasing after safety G G# When my world went up in flames A I saw my defenses D Washed my ashes down the drain E7 I thought mercy was a stranger Fm But You called me out by name E7 Fm G D Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus
Verse 6:
C Your wounds were gaping open G G# Couldn't recognize you at first A* And all I had to offer you D* Was an insult or a curse E7 Your blood dripped down like poison Fm On the nauseated earth E7 Fm G C Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus E7 Fm G C Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus
Outro:
E7 Fm This is mercy's war, this is mercy's war E7 Fm This is mercy's war, this is mercy's war E7 Fm This is mercy's war, this is mercy's war E7 Fm G C Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus
