Misc Praise Songs – I Have A Friend Whose Faithful Love (Guitar)

D                      D Dsus4 D  A
[tab]              D     D Dsus4 D  A
Is more than all the world to me:

     Bm     G         F#m   Bm
’Tis higher than the heights above,

                       F#m     Bm
And deeper than the soundless sea;

            D         A        D
So old, so new, So strong, so true;

                     Bm     G  A
Before the earth received its frame,

    Bm   D   G      D   A   D
He loved me—Blessed be His name!

D                D Dsus4 D  A
He held the highest place above,

           D     D Dsus4 D  A
Adored by all the sons of flame,

     Bm       G      F#m   Bm
Yet such His self-denying love,

                    F#m     Bm
He laid aside His crown and came

             D         A       D
To seek the lost,  And at the cost

                     Bm   G  A
Of heavenly rank and earthly fame

     Bm   D   G      D   A   D
He sought me—Blessed be His name!

D             D Dsus4 D  A
It was a lonely path He trod,

        D     D Dsus4 D  A
From every human soul apart;

       Bm  G       F#m   Bm
Known only to Himself and God

                        F#m        Bm
Was all the grief that filled His heart,

              D         A        D
Yet from the track He turned not back,

                     Bm   G  A
Till where I lay in want and shame,

    Bm   D   G      D   A   D
He found me—Blessed be His name!

D                    D Dsus4 D  A
Then dawned at last that day of dread,

         D     D Dsus4 D  A
When desolate, yet undismayed,

       Bm     G         F#m          Bm
With wearied frame and thorn-crowned head,

                  F#m     Bm
He, God-forsaken, man-betrayed,

               D      A   D
Was then made sin On Calvary,

                     Bm     G  A
And, dying there in grief and shame,

    Bm   D   G      D   A   D
He saved me—Blessed be His name!

D                D Dsus4 D  A
Long as I live my song shall tell

          D     D Dsus4 D  A
The wonders of His dying love;

     Bm     G      F#m   Bm
And when at last I go to dwell

                        F#m     Bm
With Him His sovereign grace to prove,

             D       A      D
My joy shall be His face to see,

                       Bm   G  A
And bowing there with loud acclaim

        Bm   D   G      D   A   D
I’ll praise Him—Blessed be His name!
