This is such an amazing song, I love it!
Watch the above video for exact timing and strum/mute techniques.
Tuning: C#-G#-C#-F#-G#-C# (half-step below DADGAD)
Chords Used: (Your index finger should stay on the third string
and your ring finger should play the notes on the sixth string.
I found this to be the easiest way and it's the way he plays it.)

Intro:
(x2)
Verse :
Come close, listen to the story
about a love more faithful than the morning
The Father gave his only Son just to save us
Chorus:
The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Father's broken heart
tears were filling heaven's eyes
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn’t move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
Bbm Ab F# (let ring out)
The day that true love died, The day that true love died
Interlude:
Verse 2:
Search your heart you know you can’t deny it
Come on, lose your life just so you can find it
The Father gave his only son just to save us
Chorus:
The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Father's broken heart
tears were filling heaven's eyes
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn’t move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that true love died, The day that true love died

Bridge:
Now, Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Oh, He is alive
He rose again
Chorus:
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn’t move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that true love died, Jesus is Alive
Oh, Jesus You're alive
