Intro: 4/4
D G A D
1. And can it be that I should gain
2. He left His Father’s throne a- - - bove,
3. Long my imprisoned spir - it lay,
4. No condemnation now I dread;
G A D G E A
An in- - t’rest in the Savior’s blood!
So free, so in–fi–nite His grace;
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Je - sus, and all in Him, is mine!
A7 D A7
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
Emptied Himself of all but love,
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray;
Alive in Him, my living Head,
G D A D
For me, who Him to death pursued?
And bled for Adam’s helpless race.
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
And clothed in righteousness divine,
G E A
Amazing love! how can it be
’Tis mercy all, immense and free;
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
Bold I approach th’eter - nal throne,
D G A D
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
For O my God, it found out me.
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
A A7 D
Amazing love! How can it be
G D G D A7 D
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
