[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Fate
Em
Holds nothing on the providence I know
C2
No longer bound to things of wood and stone
G
When all I had to offer was my worst
D G
You saw my heavy heart and loved me first
Em
Your beauty staring down my brokenness
C2
You chose to throw Your heart into the mess
G
Compassion crashing down upon my debt
Dsus
You were there
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em
All this time
C G
Like a river running through my failure
D Em
You carried me all this time
C
Like the splinters buried in
G Dsus
Your shoulders You carry me now
[Chorus 1]
G
Hallelujah
Dsus
If ever now my heart cries hallelujah
C
If ever now in the wonder of Your grace
G
A thousand times a thousand years my soul
Dsus
Will say
[Verse 2]
G
Grace
Em
You saw the crushing weight my flesh deserved
C2
You kneeled and wrote forgiveness in the dirt
G
And one by one the stones fell where they lay
Em
As one by one my accusers walked away
C
With nothing left to throw they made a cross
G
And knowing only love could count the cost
Dsus
You were there
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em
All this time
C G
Like a river running through my failure
D Em
You carried me all this time
C
Like the splinters buried in
G
Your shoulders
Dsus Em
Your love carried all my shame
C G
Jesus how my soul will praise You
D Em
You carried me all this way
C
Like a diamond in the scars upon
G Dsus
Your crown You carry me now
[Chorus 2]
G
Hallelujah
D
If ever now my heart cries hallelujah
C
If ever now in the wonder of Your grace
G
A thousand times a thousand years my soul
Dsus
Will say
G
Hallelujah
Dsus
Forever now in the greatness of my Saviour
C
Forever now in the brightness of Your Name
G
Jesus on this rock I’ll sing Your praise
