[Intro] Em Esus4 Em Bm/D A Esus4/B [Verse 1]
   Em                     D         Em
A mural of memories moves by in a blur,

                        D             Am
His prayers all seem unanswered and unheard

     Em         Am           Bm              C
His pleading petitions, His loud cries and tears,

   Em                 D              Em
A last reprieve will simply not appear
[Chorus]
     C          D            Bm              C
So ruthless He loves us, so reckless his embrace,

    Am               D            Em
To show relentless kindness to a hardened human race

    Asus2           D              Bm             Am
The joy that was before Him on the Man of Sorrows’ face

   Bbdim7             B7             Em      E7sus4  A/E  Esus4
And by His blood, He bought a violent grace
[Verse 2]
       Em                     D               Em
Most willing of victims, and with His final breath,

                        D               Am
Destroyed the one who holds the power of death

     Em          Am         Bm                 C
The hate heaped upon Him, scorning all the shame,

    Em                D            Em
But all for love He died and overcame
[Chorus]
     C           D            Bm             C
So ruthless He loves us, so reckless his embrace,

    Am               D            Em
To show relentless kindness to a hardened human race

    Asus2           D              Bm             Am
The joy that was before Him on the Man of Sorrows’ face

   Bbdim7             B7             Em
And by His blood, He bought a violent grace
[Bridge]
B                   C
In all of time, no one had ever heard,

    D                                     A
And to the world the thought seemed so absurd

   B                             C
Beyond their wildest dreams, no one could ever tell,

      D                               E
Of a High Priest who would sacrifice Himself
[Chorus]
     D           E            C#m            D
So ruthless He loves us, so reckless his embrace,

    Bm               E            F#m
To show relentless kindness to a hardened human race

    Bsus2           E              C#m               Bm
The joy that was before Him on the Man of Sorrows’ face

   Cdim7              C#7            F#m
And by His blood, He bought a violent grace

     D           E            C#m            D
So ruthless He loves us, so reckless his embrace,

To show relentless kindness to a hardened human race

    Bsus2           E              C#m            Bm
The joy that was before Him on the Man of Sorrows’ face

   Cdim7              C#7            F#m      E
And by His blood, He bought a violent grace
