verse 1: 

Am                C       G       Am 
You held out Your arms, I walked away 
F    C       G           Am 
Insolent, I spurned Your face 
Am               C        G       Am 
Squandering the gifts You gave to me 
     F       C       G       Am     
And holding close forbidden things 
F     C      G      Am      F       C      G 
Destitute, a rebel still, a fool in all my pride 
    F              C        G        Am 
The world I once enjoyed is death to me 
    F      G         Am    
No joy, no hope, no life 


verse 2: 

Where now are the friends that I had bought 
Gone with every penny lost 
What hope could there be for such as I 
Sold out to a world of lies 
Oh, to see Your face again, it seems so distant now 
Could it be that You would take me back 
A servant in Your house 


verse 3: 

Am                C       G        Am 
You held out Your arms, I see them still 
    F      C        G     Am 
You never left, You never will 
Am            C        G      Am 
Running to embrace me, now I know 
     F         C        G       Am   
Your cords of love will always hold 
F        C       G       Am          F     C      G 
Mercy’s robe, a ring of grace, such favor undeserved 
F             C      G      Am 
You sing over me and celebrate 
    F     G        |C         Dm   C| 
The rebel now Your child
