[Verse 1]
G D Em7 A long, long time ago, Am C Em D I read in the Bible… how Jesus came to save us all G D Em7 ‘Cuz even when we had our chance Am C Em C D To put salvation in our hands, it quickly became clear that we would fall. Em Am Em Am God saved Israel out of Egypt, but that grace they all would reject. C G Am C D God gave them the law, so that they could stand tall. G D Em Am7 D I cannot comprehend quite why, God loved these people like a bride. G D Em His love for them has never died C D7 G So God… He sent his pride.
[Chorus]
G C G D So why, why, did God send this Christ guy? G C G D He’s our savior, who faced danger and even for us died. G C G D Spent three days in the tomb, but on the third day did rise Em A7 Em D7 Singin’ I am now the ultimate prize. I am now the ultimate prize.
[Verse 2]
G Am Do you know about His signs? C Am Em D And how he healed and exorcised… Yeah, the gospels tell us so. G D/F# Em He travelled ‘round, by land and sea Am7 C Em A7 D Through villages in Galilee, and by God’s Spirit taught people how to grow. Em D Em D Well He told the Pharisee’s they sinned, so they all wanted to do him in. C G A7 C D7 They laid traps to make him lose, but He saw right through their rus---es! G D/F# Em Am C They had to find a real dishonest guy, to betray the master in due time. G D/F# Em C D7 G C G Judas seemed to turn the tide… Gave them the Father’s pride. And we’re still asking…
[Chorus]
G C G D Why, why, did God send this Christ guy? G C G D He’s our savior, who faced danger and even for us died. G C G D Spent three days in the tomb, but on the third day did rise Em A7 Em D7 Singin’ I am now the ultimate prize. I am now the ultimate prize.
[Verse 3]
G Am In his trials, he refused to speak C Am Em D Even when accused of blasphemy, that’s not how he was usually. G D/F# Em From the king’s court to the Governors, Am7 C Em A7 D The Pharisee’s caused quite a stir, the crowd’s wanted him dead and so they screamed. Em D Em D Then after whipped thirty-nine times, the crowd cried, “Death for his crimes.” C G A7 C D7 So, Pilate washed his hands, Condemned Jesus a guilty man. G D/F# Em Am C The man who’d walked through Galilee, trudged along to Calvary G D/F# Em C D7 G C G They nailed him up right on a tree and killed, the Father’s pride. Still we’re askin’…
[Chorus]
G C G D Why, why, did God send this Christ guy? G C G D He’s our savior, who faced danger and even for us died. G C G D Spent three days in the tomb, but on the third day did rise Em A7 Em D7 Singin’ I am now the ultimate prize. I am now the ultimate prize.
[Verse 4]
G Am Hope seemed lost, a wicked double-cross C Am Em D Ended at the foot of Jesus’ cross, three hours and then our Lord was gone. G D/F# Em They laid him in a guarded tomb, C Em A7 D So the body could not be exhumed, by disciples li-ike Peter, James or John. Em D Em D When the sun came up on the third day’s morn, the women came to him, forlorn. C G A7 C D7 But the stone was rolled away. Jesus is alive today! G D/F# Em Am C To the gates of Hell, he’d gone you see, to free us from captivity, G D/F# Em C D7 G C G Beat death and beat depravity, He Lives! The Father’s Pride. We’re now rejoicin’…
[Chorus]
G C G D This is why, God sent this Christ guy! G C G D He’s our savior, who faced danger and even for us died. G C G D Spent three days in the tomb, but on the third day did rise Em A7 Em D7 Singin’ I am now the ultimate prize. I am now the ultimate prize.
[Verse 5]
G D/F# Em Yes, Jesus came to save us all. Am C Em D This was His eternal call. And He is calling us today. G D/F# Em He calls us to spread the news. Am C Em C D To tell people that the gospel’s true. And that he is the life, the truth, the way. Em Am Em Am Christ sends us all the Spirit too, so that his power can work in you. C G Am C D God builds the kingdom through us. The Spirit shall renew us. G D/F# Em Am7 C D7 Christ’s been with us, he has not lied, the work he did will be our guide. G D/F# Em Am7 D7 G Yes, our God’s love is deep and wide. Praise to, the Father’s Pride.
