This is my second tab, hope you're blessed by it. Its lyrics are very challenging, 
both to the performer and the listener. Fun fact: this song is actually based on 
"Rescue the Perishing" by Fanny J. Crosby, a 1869 hymn. I made this because
I could not find the chords for this song anywhere. I was only able to find the 
first two chords and sounded the rest out. Therefore, it's very possible that 
there are mistakes, I welcome good corrections.
Please leave comments/suggestions/rude comments at the bottom.

Intro: (Fingerpicking)

A B A B A

Verse 1: (Fingerpicking)

               B        A
Rescue the perishing
               B        A
Care for the dying
                 B        C#m9                A
Snatch them in pity, from sin and the grave
                 B       A
Weep over the erring one
               B      A
Lift up the fallen
               B        C#m9              A
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save

Chorus: (Soft)

E

              B        C#m9
Rescue the perishing
              B     E
Care for the dying
             B      C#m9
Jesus is merciful
             B    E
Jesus will save
                   B              C#m9
Church open your eyes once more
                     B         E
And see what Christ died for
             B      C#m9
Jesus is merciful
            B
Jesus will save

Verse 2: (Soft)

A

              B          A
Down in the human heart
                  B     A
Crushed by the tempter
                B         C#m9                A
Feelings lie buried, that grace can restore
                B           A
Touched by a loving heart
               B      A
Wakened by kindness
                  B          C#m9              
Chords that are broken, will vibrate once more


Chorus: (Slightly stronger)

E

              B        C#m9
Rescue the perishing
              B     E
Care for the dying
             B      C#m9
Jesus is merciful
             B    E
Jesus will save
                   B              C#m9
Church open your eyes once more
                     B         E
And see what Christ died for
             B      C#m9
Jesus is merciful
            B
Jesus will save

Bridge: (Soft)

E

                       B
As we're playing our songs
                          C#m9
While we're singing them well
                        B
Have we forgotten the lost?
                      E
The reality of hell
                   B
If we say we love God
                      C#m9
Want to see His will done
                       B
Will we we offer our lives?
                                 E
Or just the songs we have sung
             B     A (rock out)
Do we even care?
               B
When will we care?

Chorus: (Rockin!)

E

              B        C#m9
Rescue the perishing
              B     E
Care for the dying
             B      C#m9
Jesus is merciful
             B    E
Jesus will save
                   B              C#m9
Church open your eyes once more
                     B         E
And see what Christ died for
             B      C#m9
Jesus is merciful
            B
Jesus will save
