Verse 1
C5                   Eb5         Bb5                    F5                         
Blistered feet, bloodied alone, walked the streets a man unknown
C5                 Eb5         Bb5                 F5
Battered face as He adorns, a mocker's robe, a crown of thorns
  C5                 Eb5         Bb5                   F5
A tree designed for His demise, cursed, maligned by guilty cries
    C5                 Eb5               Bb5                 F5
The nails and hammer they did meet, two in the hands, one in the feet
C5             Eb5               Bb5               F5
Risen up, put on display, for a guilty mob to scream and say

Chorus 1
 C5       Eb5
"Crucify! Crucify!"
    Bb5                 F5
The people yelled to crucify
 C5           Eb5
"He must die! He must die!"
    Bb5              F5         ( C5 )
Without a fight He did comply

Verse 2
  C5               C5            Ab5
I do not know the pain you felt, or lowly service as You knelt
Eb5                               Bb5
Down before such lowly men You served (and washed their feet)
    C5                C5       Ab5
Who is this man they sent to die? Many still could not reply
  Eb5                           Bb5
Betrayed and sold by His very own (with a kiss)
   C5                 Eb5           Ab5                   F5
He met the needs of thousands fed, healed the sick and raised the dead
 C5                    Eb5                Bb5            F5
"My God! My God!" The man did say, "Have you forsaken me this day?"
C5                Eb5                 Bb5                  F5
Bleeding, dying; words were few, "Forgive them Lord for what they do"
C5                   Eb5             Bb5     F5          ( C5 , Bb5 )
Gasping breath they heard Him say, "It is finished!"

Interlude
C5                                          Bb5
Laid below the ground You knew it couldn't hold You
     C5                                       Bb5
They thought that You were bound by nature's laws

Bridge
F5                                 Ab5                               Eb5
   For the veil that was torn in two and the darkness that would ensue
                       Bb5               F5
A symbol alas that the debt was finally paid
                               Ab5                             Eb5
When the stone it was rolled away, He was no longer where He lay
                    Bb5             Ab5
Surely our King had risen from the dead 

Tag
Ab5                             C5                 Bb5
On and on and on we're singing,   singing out for all to hear us

Verse 3
Ab5                         C5               Bb5
This is not a simple story;   our lives are for Your glory
  Ab5                              C5            Bb5
Beyond my words and written pages,   Your song across the ages
