[Verse 1]
G                  C   D        G
And can it be that I   should gain
   C   D     G      A        D
An in-t’rest in the Savior’s blood
                   G          D
Died He for me who caused His pain
    C      G  C   D         G
For me who Him to death pur-sued
                 C     A    D
Amazing love how can   it   be
     G       C             D       G
That Thou my God should’st die for me
        D               G
Amazing love how can it be
     C       G   C         D       G
That Thou my God should’st die for me


[Verse 2]
G                    C      D   G
He left His Father's throne a - bove
   C    D   G      A        D
So free so  infi - nite His grace
                   G       D
Emptied Himself of all but love
    C        G  C   D        G
And bled for Adam's helpless race
                  C     A   D
'Tis mercy all im-mense and free
    G    C      D         G
For O my God it found out me
           D               G
'Tis mercy all immense and free
    C    G   C    D         G
For O my God it   found out me

[Verse 3]
G                  C     D     G
Long my imprisoned spi – rit   lay
     C     D    G          A      D
Fast bound in   sin and na-ture's night
                     G          D
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
  C        G   C   D           G
I woke the dungeon flamed with light
                      C     A   D
My chains fell off my heart was free
  G         C         D        G
I rose went forth and followed Thee
               D                G
My chains fell off my heart was free
  C         G     C   D        G
I rose went forth and followed Thee


[Verse 4]
G               C   D   G
No condemnation now I   dread
   C   D   G      A      D
Je-sus and all in Him is mine
                G      D
Alive in Him my living head
    C          G  C      D       G
And clothed in righteous-ness di-vine
                    C    A   D
Bold I approach the eter-nal throne
    G         C             D         G
And claim the crown through Christ my own
          D                  G
Bold I ap-proach the eternal throne
    C         G     C       D         G
And claim the crown through Christ my own

          D                  G
Bold I ap-proach the eternal throne
    C         G     C       D         G
And claim the crown through Christ my own
