Misc Praise Songs – She Came With The Spices (Guitar)

G
[tab]C             D
To thy tomb O Lord,

D7
Knowing not that Thou

G                   Em
Above the earth had soared.

    G
She came void of all hope;

    Am
She came expecting death;

   Am               G
Forgetting the Life-Giver

    D             G
Who is the living breath.

   G
In trials and tribulations,

   C             D
Do we not do the same:

D7
Looking at our errors,

G                 Em
Despairing in our blame?

    G
How often do we wallow,

 Am
Abandoning all hope –

   Am            G
As though on our own –

     D               G
With burden we could cope.

   G
If Peter lost all hope when

    C                D
Our Lord exposed his sin,

D7
Luke would not record

    G                       Em
The three thousand he would win.

G
If Paul considered nothing

    Am
But his murderous past,

      Am           G
Would his inspired letters

   D               G
To this generation last?

G
Moses’ life was evil,

      C             D
Every sin he did commit,

D7
But from this desert bandit,

  G                Em
A shining lamp was lit.

   G
If Mary, Egypt’s harlot,

    Am
Had not tried to win his grace,

Am                  G
Would she now be in heaven –

      D                G
Would she have won the race?

    G
Our Lord set an example,

   C                 D
Compelled, we do the same:

D7
Fight, strive, persevere and

   G             Em
On us will be no blame.

   G
If our loving Saviour

    Am
Had not endured all pain,

      Am                G
Would Redemption and Salvation

D           G
Ever be our gain?

  G
I come now with hope

   C          D
To Thy Tomb O Lord,

D7
Knowing that in Truth,

G                    Em
Above the earth Thou soared,

  G
I come now with joy,

  Am
I come expecting life;

Am                   G
Knowing that through Thee

  D              C
I can endure all strife.
