[INT] ->  ( D5  Bb5  C5 ) X 4  

G5                   F5
It's such a paradox, it's such a mystery,
G5               D5      D5        Bb5 
Why a King would leave His throne to save humanity.
D5                    Bb5            C5                D5    A5
They could not have known when they mocked Him in disgrace,
Bb5                    C5              A5            A5 
They could not have known when they spit upon His face.

Refr?o:
            D5         G5                D5     G5
The Rose of Sharon wore a crown of thorns that day,
    E5              E5                   B5    A5
The carpenter had a nail right through His hand.
    D5  D5   D5  D5   A5      B5      
The Master   of   the Earth    became a  servant of no worth,
    G5    D5     E5     E5   A5
And paid a king's ransom for my soul,
   G5    D5     E5     E5   A5
He paid a king's ransom for my soul. (2nd time to bridge)


G5                    F5      
Creator of the Earth, Name above all names,
G5                 D5  D5      Bb5
Some just stood in unbelief when listening to His claims.
D5                  Bb5              C5                  D5   A5
They could not have known when they hit Him with their fists,
Bb5                  C5               A5                  A5
They could not have known when they nailed His feet and wrists. (To Chorus)

The ransom that He paid was the sacrifice He made,
    A5         B5                C#5    E5   G#5
The life of a King in place of me.
    C#5            A5           B5                C#5
The shame that He bore for the rich and for the poor

changed His crown of thorns into glory.
