I was looking for excuses
                G5                          Ab5
And you offered me my soul
             A5
In the name of all my weakness
             D5
In the name of rock 'n roll
             E5
By His sickness I am healed
                        F5
?Cause they broke you I am whole

Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus

I went looking for the fig leaves
                G5                                       Ab5
And you asked me what they're for
            A5
I was building up a wall
                D5
And you offered me a door
            E5
I was hoping for silver spoons
                F5
But you handed me a sword

Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus

   D5                  A5
Maker is unmade

Love succumbs to hate
 G5                          C5
Life Himself is slain
                       E5
Is death the only way?
                       E5
Is death the only way?

Verse 3:
              C5
I went looking for religion
          G5                     Ab5
Absolutely not a friend
              A5 *
I went looking for ways out
                    D5
And you showed me the way in
              E5
I went looking for a ghost
              F5
And instead I found a man
E5            F5                            G5 C5
Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus

Felt like I was at the end
                G5                    Ab5
Felt like giving up on life
    A5 *
I talked about your mother
              D5 *
And denied you once or twice
          E5
Yeah, I plucked out your beard
              F5
Put a sword into your side
E5             F5                G5 C5
Oh, the wonderful of Jesus

Life and love are torn
               E5                            F5
By the blades of earthly swords
        G5                    C5
We cut the final cord
                E5
This is mercy's war
          E5
It's mercy's war

Verse 5:
              C5
I was chasing after safety
                    G5                            Ab5
When my world went up in flames
    A5
I saw my defenses
                     D5
Washed my ashes down the drain
                     E5
I thought mercy was a stranger
                F5
But You called me out by name
E5             F5                           G5 D5
Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus

Your wounds were gaping open
                 G5                            Ab5
Couldn't recognize you at first
        A5 *
And all I had to offer you
             D5 *
Was an insult or a curse
             E5
Your blood dripped down like poison 
               F5
On the nauseated earth
E5             F5                           G5 C5
Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus
E5             F5                           G5 C5
Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus
