Lyrics and Chords (Capo 1 for Guitar)

V1:
Dm                                           C
It was known from the start
Dm                                                        C
This sinless man would be broken apart
Dm                                                  C
Words of the prophets long ago
Dm                                                C
Spoke of suffering and dying alone

V2:
He took the break and he took the wine
He knew His brother betrayed Him, O what a crime
“This bread is my body, broken for You”
He lifted a chalice, “My blood will fall too.”

Chorus:
         F
I will praise
         Bb
I will praise
                    Dm7
The Son of God,
                                   C
The Lamb who was slain







                                    F
From death He was raised
                            Bb 
The breaker of chains,
                             Dm7
The Son of God, Jesus
C                             
Jesus is His name

Dm - - - / - - - - C - - - / - - - -

V3:
At Gethsemane, men came, they seized Him there
Still Jesus was mercy, healed back a man’s ear
The crowds of people, instead of a crim
Pointed at Jesus, yelling “CRUCIFY HIM!”

V4: 
At Golgotha He hung there, in torturous pain
The soldiers blaspheming, they just saw a game
The weight of sin’s burden too much to bear
The enemy boasting as His body hung there

Chorus

V5: 
Placed in a tomb, Joseph lay Him there
Wrapped in cloth there they left Him, embalmed in tears
Chief priests came and remembered what Jesus said;
They secured it for three days because of their fears

V6:
The ‘Mary’’s went to see where Jesus lay
Earthquakes shook the ground, the angel rolled the stone away
“Why are you shaking? Do not fear. 
Jesus is risen; look, he’s not there!”

Chorus

Bridge:
    Bb                    F               C
O death, where is your sting?
            Dm                    C        Bb
Grave, where is your victory?
      Bb        F            C
Sin has no grip on me,
                Bb       C                      F
Through Jesus’ death on that tree.
