[Intro] C F Dm C# C G# G [Verse 1]
        C       Am          Dm          G
In the image of God we were made long ago,

          C          G            D        G
with the purpose divine, here His glory to show.

        C              Am           Dm             G
But we failed Him one day, and like sheep went astray.

           C         Am           Dm           C    Em
Thinking not of the cost, we His likeness had lost.

                 A           D     Am
But from eternity God had in mind.

            D       Dm          G
The work of Calvary the lost to find.

         C               Am           Dm            G
From His heaven so broad, Christ came down earth to trod,

        C              Am       F            C
so that men might live again in the image of God.
[Verse 2]
         C         Am           Dm         G
Now that I had believed and the Saviour received.

         C           G                 D            G
Now that I from the Christ (cry) of my guilt am relieved.

        C          Am            Dm          G
I will live for my Lord, not for gain or reward,

         C            Am          Dm             C    Em
but for love thinking of what His grace has restored.

                     A             D      Am
I'll never comprehend redemption's plan.

                  D        Dm           G
How Christ could condescend, to die for man.

       C             Am            Dm         G
Such a Saviour I'll praise, to the end of my days

     C                Am          F         C
as I up-ward on-ward trod in the image of God.
