Timing: 4/4

A/C#    D          E
 I'm forgiven because You were forsaken
A/C#    D       E
 I'm accepted, You were condemned
A/C#   D                    E
 I'm alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
  D          E             A
Because You died and rose again

A              D
 Amazing love, how can it be
A                                 E
That You, my King, should die for me?
A            D
Amazing love, I know it's true
A                    E
It's my joy to honor You
         D  E          A
In all I do, to honor You

A
You are my King
You are my King
Jesus, You are my King
You are my King

Play the "A" chord for the entire bridge.
I prefer to play an "A" for the entire song, even for the "A/C#" , but the "A/C#" is the 
correct chord.

Play this in any order you want to, it all works. For worship style with a group of 
people, probably play the verse twice, chorus, verse, chorus, and then end on the bridge.

If the chords don't fit your voice, then you can change them using the "trans-poser" at 
the top.

Listen to the song to get the rhythm right, the verse can be tricky for a beginner guitarist.

Here are the chords that I think they use:
  A/C#  A  D  E
e--X----X--2--0-|
B--2----2--3--0-|
G--2----2--2--1-|
D--2----2--0--2-|
A--4----0--X--2-|
E--X----X--X--0-|

A/C# - bar the 2nd, 3rd, 4th strings with the index finger on the 2nd fret, and use your 
ring finger on the 5th string at the 4th fret.
A - bar the 2nd, 3rd, 4th strings with the index finger on the 2nd fret.
D - normal D
E - normal open E
