C                    G7           C               F
I had drifted for so long with my life so full of wrong
         C                                   G7
That the Lord should have turned His back on me
       C                  G7        C               F
But He took the trembling hand of a lost and lonely man
          C                  G7                C    F  C
Broke the chains from mortal shame and made me free

                     G7          F                 C
Yes He took away the sin from my soul where it had been
                                        G7
And He helped my blinding eyes again to see
        C          G7               C              F
Yes and now I understand the beauty of salvation's plan
           C                  G7               C
Out on the cross You paid the cost and made me free

                      G7          C              F
I had sunk so deep in shame never calling on His name
        C                              G7
All the joys of life had turned to misery
         C               G7            C                  F
But then He gave me back control of my lost and wandering soul
            C              G7                C    F  C
Removed the fears dried my tears and made me free

                     G7           F               C
Yes He took away the sin that had stained me deep within
                                          G7
And He gave me back the fate that I might see
        C              G7                C              F
Now I'm so glad I understand the promise of salvation's plan
           C                  G7               C
Out on the cross You paid the cost and made me free
