Christ For The World

Intro | Bb | | Gm | | Bb/F | | Eb | |

Verse 1
          Gm            Eb Bb
The poor, despised and overborne,
               Gm        Eb       
The faint, the weak, and those who
  Bb
 mourn,
                Gm       
The plagued and sin-sick, 
  Eb    Bb
sorrow-worn,
     F                 Bb/D      
Our Christ can heal, with loving 
Eb
zeal

Verse 2
The wandering, the wayward, and the 
lost
By restless passions, 
conflicted, tossed,
Redeemed at such a countless cost
From dark despair, in triumph 
declare

Chorus
                Bb        F       
Christ for the world, we sing, the
          Gm        Eb
 world to Christ we bring
           Bb     F   Eb
All of its suffering untold
       Bb       F             
Every tribe and tongue into the 
         Gm      Eb
strong arms of God
               Gm                  
Christ for the world, Christ for 
  F     Eb Bb
the world we sing!

(To Bridge: | Bb | )

Verse 3
Revived and new-born souls, whose 
days
Reclaimed and ransomed from sin's 
dark ways,
Inspired with rising hope and 
praise,
To Christ belong, and lift a joyful 
song

Bridge
            Cm                     
With us the work to share, with us 
Bb/D
reproach to dare,
            Eb                  
With us the cross to bear in one 
  F
accord
            Cm                     
With us the work to share, with us 
Bb/D
reproach to dare,
            Eb                   
With us the cross to bear for our 
  F
Lord
