Intro 
Em C G D 


[Verso 1]
 
D               G 
I learned to smile while I was breaking, 
G 
I learned to say that I was fine. 
               Em 
I filled the silence wirh distractions, 
Em 
But nothing healed this heart of mine 
           C 
I heard the name of Jesus, 
C 
I saw the cross a thousand times 
            D 
But I never knew those open arms 
D 
Were reaching out for mine 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
               C             G 
I came to the end of every road 
D                     Em 
With nowhere left to run. 
           C                G 
Then mercy found me in the dark 
      D 
And showed me what you'd done. 
 


[Refrão]
 
G                   D 
It was for me, it was for me, 
Em                           C G 
The cross the grave the victory, 
G 
You took my sin, you bore my shame, 
Em                       C         G 
You died You rose, You called my name 
G 
Now I believe, now I can see, 
                D 
Jesus, You are Lord-I believe. 
             Em 
I heard the story all my life 
             C             G D 
But now the story lives in me. 
          Em C 
It was for me. 
 


[Verso 2]
 
                 G 
The guilt was mine, but You carried it, 
G 
The judgement mine, but you took my place 
               Em 
The grave was sealed, but You walked out 
Em 
And left it empty by your grace 
           C 
You didn't come to fix the surface; 
C 
You came to make me live again 
            D 
I could not earn, I could not buy 
D 
The life that only You can give 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
C                             G 
So I lay down my hiding place, 
    D                    Em 
My pride, my fear, my past. 
C 
If mercy still is calling me, 
D 
I'm coming home at last. 
 


[Refrão]
 
G                   D 
It was for me, it was for me, 
Em                           C G 
The cross the grave the victory, 
G 
You took my sin, you bore my shame, 
Em                       C         G 
You died You rose, You called my name 
G 
Now I believe, now I can see, 
                D 
Jesus, You are Lord-I believe. 
             Em 
I heard the story all my life 
             C             G D 
But now the story lives in me. 
          Em C 
It was for me.
