So Others Might Live

D                        G
Out on the ocean in the middle of 
the night
G  A                          G 
He looks for survivors in the 
       D
pale moonlight
    D                       G
The waters are angry but a voice he 
still hears
G         A                 
Now he’s faced with a question 
            G          D
between courage or fear
   A                G
A dad and a brother may lose a loved
 one
    A           G
He rushes in anyway

[Chorus]
                      D
So that others might live
    A                      Bm     
He counted the cost and he laid 
                   G
down his life for his friend
                      D
So that others might know
   A                         Bm   
A life that is given is the 
            G
greatest love ever shown
                     D A  Bm G
So that others might live Yeah

D                            G
Faced with a question with a life on
 the line
G       A                   G   
There’s no turning back and very
        D
 little time
D                        G
No room for error in the choice he 
must make
G     A                      G  
So he thinks for a moment on 
        D
what is at stake
  A                   G
A child and a mother may lose a 
loved one
        A           G
But he rushes in anyway

[Chorus]
                      D
So that others might live
    A                      Bm     
He counted the cost and he laid 
                   G
down his life for his friend
                      D
So that others might know
   A                         Bm   
A life that is given is the 
            G
greatest love ever shown
                     D A  Bm G
So that others might live Yeah

[Verse 3]
D                           G
Out in the garden while His prayer 
partners sleep please
 G   A                    G      
The cup He is bearing compels Him
     D
 to weep
D                       G
Sweat drops of blood continue to run
G  A                        G   
He cries to the Father “Let Your
         D
 will be done.”
    A                    G
He goes to the cross for you and 
your loved ones
   A                      G
He knows there is no other way

[Chorus]
                      D
So that others might live
    A                      Bm     
He counted the cost and he laid 
                   G
down his life for his friend
                      D
So that others might know

A life that is given is the 
            G
