verse 1: 

              C    D 
I lived for myself 
                    G    D/F#  Em 
It was written on my face 
                C         D 
Now staring in the mirror 
           G           G  Am - G/B  
A portrait of disgrace 
                 C             D 
My accuser was always awaiting

Everytime I killed the lights 
             Am7        D 
He called out my verdict 
                G          C  G 
But I called out to Christ

He took my place 
                G    D/F#  Em 
On a cross at Calvary 
         C     D 
He took my pain

In His hands and His feet 
            C   D 
Mercy or justice

Heaven or Hell

I took forgiveness

He took the nails

God offered His Son

So the whole-wide world could know 
                  C          D 
The gift that keeps on giving 
                G    G  Am - G/B  
The only real hero 
                          C           D 
From Earthâ??s sorrow to Heavenâ??s glory 
              Bm         Em 
Jesus gave His very best 
               Am7         D

               G          C  G 
When He loved me to death
