[Intro]
|A |E/G# |F#m |D |
[Verse 1]
A E/G# F#m
This is the story of a runaway
D A
With no way home and no way out
E/G# F#m
I threw the best of me away
D A
I had my chance, it's too late now
E/G# F#m
Too far gone and too ashamed
D A/C#
To think that You'd still know my name
D Esus4 E
But love refused to let my story end that way
[Chorus]
A E/G# D
You didn't wait for me to find my way to You
A
I couldn't cross that distance even if I wanted to
E/G#
You came running after me
D Bm
When anybody else would've turned and left me at my worst
A
Love moved first
E/G# F#m D
Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohhh, oh-oh-ohh
[Verse 2]
A E/G# F#m
What kind of grace, relentless grace
D A
Would chase this rebel down
E/G# F#m
Crawl into this prisoner's cage
D A
Take my hand and pull me out
E/G# F#m
You knew I couldn't make the change
D A/C#
So You became the change in me
D Esus4
And now I live to tell the story
E
Of the God who rescues
[Chorus]
A E/G# D
You didn't wait for me to find my way to You
A
I couldn't cross that distance even if I wanted to
E/G#
You came running after me
D Bm
When anybody else would've turned and left me at my worst
D
Love moved first
[Bridge]
D
From the throne to the manger
E
From a manger to the grave
F#m
Your cross is the proof
A
Love made the first move
D
From a grave meant to keep You
E
To a stone rolled away
F#m
Your cross is the proof
A
Love made the first move
A/C#
I remember where You found me
E/G#
I'm amazed by where I stand
D
Your cross is the proof
D
That love made the first move
[Chorus]
A E/G# D
You didn't wait for me to find my way to You
A
I couldn't cross that distance even if I wanted to
E/G#
You came running after me
D Bm
When anybody else would've turned and left me at my worst
A
Love moved first
E/G#
Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh
D
Love moved first
