I was looking for excuses

And you offered me my soul
             A
In the name of all my weakness
             D
In the name of rock 'n roll

By His sickness I am healed

‘Cause they broke you I am whole

And you asked me what they're for
            A
I was building up a wall
                D
And you offered me a door

But you handed me a sword

Maker is unmade

Love succumbs to hate
 G                          C
Life Himself is slain
                       E7
Is death the only way?

Is death the only way?

              C
I went looking for religion
          G                     G#
Absolutely not a friend
              A*
I went looking for ways out
                    D
And you showed me the way in

Felt like I was at the end

Felt like giving up on life
    A*
I talked about your mother
              D*
And denied you once or twice
          E7
Yeah, I plucked out your beard
              Fm
Put a sword into your side

Oh, the wonderful of Jesus

By the blades of earthly swords

When my world went up in flames

I saw my defenses

Washed my ashes down the drain

But You called me out by name

Your wounds were gaping open

Couldn't recognize you at first
        A*
And all I had to offer you
             D*
Was an insult or a curse
             E7
Your blood dripped down like poison
               Fm
On the nauseated earth
E7             Fm                           G C
