Intro – Ebm * Bsus4 * F# * C#sus (x2)
Verse1
I said you gotta leave, you gotta promise me,
It's the beginning of my end, you gotta promise me,
How can a holy God renew a wicked Pharisee,
Ebm C#sus (let ring)
I'm sayin' I'm like Peter in the boat so just depart from me.
It seems I'm destined for doom like ancient prophecy,
And in the dark I'm consumed, it's just too much for me,
With sin in full bloom my gloom booms by the full moon,
Ebm C#sus (let ring)
And I'm thinkin' to myself, “How can You rescue me?”
CHORUS
My before and after, I can't but sing.
My before and after, I'll sing praises to my King.
My before and after, Here's the anthem, let it ring,
One love, two arms, three scars, Draw us to where You are,
Ebm Bsus4 F# C#sus (let ring)
No one is, too far, for You to save a heart.
C#sus interlude (one bar)
Verse 2
Then in the darkness of this room You snuck up next to me,
You put Your hand upon my wound and whispered, “Rest in Me.”
And there I stepped out of the tomb and into destiny,
the rest they say is history,
C#sus (let ring)
Your grace is such a mystery.
TO CHORUS
* * * (x1)
BRIDGE
I got a name change, and that's the strange thing,
'Cause I was once stained, now I'm called saint. (x2)
TO CHORUS
Ebm * Bsus4 * F# * C#sus (x4) (end on C#)

This is easiest to play with a Capo on 2. (Chords are not relative to that, these
are the true chords.)
