[Intro]
Em Am G (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em Am G
I live in light 'cause He felt the darkness
Em Am G
Found without fault, He bled for my burdens
Em Am G
Was cast away to give me nearness
D C
Oh the cross of Christ, my grief and delight
[Verse 2]
Em Am G
He hung alone to give me communion
Em Am G
Though I pierced His side, He groans "Forgive them!"
Em Am G
I'm given joy as He writhed in anguish
D C
Oh the cross of Christ, my grief and delight
[Chorus 1]
Am Em G D
The wrath of God displayed in Christ's atoning work
Am Em Dsus D
As blood poured down His face, I saw what I, saw what I deserved
[Interlude 1]
Em Am G (x2)
[Verse 3]
Em Am G
He wears my wounds and clothes me in compassion
Em Am G
Left on my own I'd still choose Barrabas
Em Am G
What man am I to receive atonement;
D C
Oh the cross of Christ, my grief and delight
[Chorus 2]
Am Em G D
The wrath of God displayed in Christ's atoning work
Am Em Dsus D
As blood poured down His face, I saw what I deserved
Am Em G D
What circumstance but grace; Innocence took my curse
Am Em Dsus D
As nails drove through His veins, I saw what I, saw what I deserved
[Interlude 2]
Am Em C / Am Em Dsus D (x2)
[Bridge]
Am Em C
What I deserve is to taste the bitterness of my sin

Be crushed for my iniquity, have thorns laid on my head
Am Em C
What I deserve is to be pierced for my offense
Am Em Dsus D
But I stand before a Holy God, hidden in Christ
C G D Em
What I deserve is to taste the bitterness of my sin
C G Dsus D
Be crushed for my iniquity, have thorns laid on my head
C G D Em
What I deserve is to be pierced for my offense
C G Dsus D Am
But I stand before a Holy God, hidden in Christ's righteousness
[Interlude 3]
Em G D Am Em Dsus D Am Em G D Am Em Dsus D
[Chorus 3]
C G D Em
The wrath of God displayed in Christ's atoning work

As nails drove through His veins, I saw what I, saw what I deserved
