Intro:
Gm7 Bb/C C7 Bb
F/A Gm7 Fsus F
Gm7 C C7/E F Dm7
And the Roman soldiers laughed, When they saw their pris'ner stumble
Gm7 C
He did not revile them back and wondering I asked
Fsus F F/A
Who was this man so humble?
Bb C
And a woman at my side
C/Bb Am7 Dm7
Choked on her reply
Gm7
Though she struggled not to weep
C
Tears poured down her cheek
Fsus
Her heart breaking as she cried:
F Dm9 Gm7 C
Oh Lord, my Redeemer,
C7/E F F/A
Thou hast done so much for me!
Dm9 Daug/F# Gm7 C7sus
Oh Lord, my Redeemer,
C7 Bb F/add Gm7 Fsus F
All my love I give to Thee!
Gm7 C
And the crowd when pushing on,
C7/E F Dm7
I felt compelled to follow.
Gm7
I knew that they were wrong
C
How they mocked him all along
Fsus F F/A
Suddenly my heart felt hollow.
Bb C
For they nailed him to a tree
C/Bb Am7 Dm7
On a hill called Calvary.
Gm7
While I stood there filled with wonder,
C
The heavens roared with thunder,
Fsus
And again I hear this plea:
Chorus
Bridge:
Fsus F
Thee!
F/A Bb C/Bb
I could not forget His face
Am7 Dm7
As I wandered from that place.
Gm7
With the questions ever burning,
C
I put myself to learning,
Fsus F
And each answer came with grace.
F/A Bb C/Bb
And I knelt in earnest prayer,
Am7 Dm7
His memory still there.
Gm7
And the more that I'd enquire,
Bb/C
The hotter burned the fire.
C7 Fsus
I found joy beyond compare.
verse 3:
Gm7 C
And the day turned into three.
C7/E F Dm7
Morning found me in a garden
Gm7
Where the gentle April breeze
C
Returned me to my knees,
Fsus F F/A
Pleading for a pardon.
Bb C
And I can't say when or why
C/Bb Am7 Dm7
I opened up my eyes,
Gm7
But his feet were there before me,
C
His hands were open o'er me,
Fsus
And His face I recognized.
Chorus
Bb F/A Gm7 F
Thee
