Intro:
D5 A5 G5 2x then G5 A5 D5 
-palm mute-
D5                  A5      
Words fall like drops of rain
B5                G5
My lips are like clouds 
D5         A5
I say so many things 
B5                    G5 (strum hard here)
Trying to figure You out
D5              A5
But as mercy opens my eyes
B5                   G5
My words are stolen away 
E5                                   G5
With this breathtaking view of Your grace

-Chorus- (parentheses for second time around)


          D5                D5 ( A5 )
And I am speechless, I'm astonished and amazed
B5                    G5         
I am silenced by Your wondrous grace
          D5
You have saved me                {walking bassline} (listen to the cd)
          D( A5 )               G5 G5 G5 G5 G5
You have raised me from the grave
          D5                  A5
And I am speechless in Your presence now
     B5                     G5
I'm astounded as I consider how
          E5   D5
You have shown us
            G5       A5  G5  A5  G5        D5 A5 G5      
A love that leaves us speechless
                       ( Bm....E5 D5 G5 A5 2x)
2nd verse


D5               A5          
So what kind of love could this be
B5                                      G5
That would trade heaven's throne for a cross 
D5                        A5
And to think You still celebrate
B5                              G(Strum louder)
Over finding just one who was lost 
D5                      A5
And to know You rejoice over us
B5                        G5
The God of this whole universe
E5                           A5    G5
It's a story that's too great for words

-chorus-


G5
Oh, how great is the love
                         B5   
The Father has lavished upon us 
        E5               D5 G5
that we should be called
                                 G5 G5   E5 D5 G5 A5 B5  Bb5 C5 G5 A5 D5 
The sons and the daughters of God
          D5
We are speechless,
                         G5
