God of love You came to earth

Born in a manger, the incarnate Word

Full of grace, and full of truth

A crown of thorns and mockery

The Lamb of God on a cross of shame
      Em         Cadd9 Em
Never before and never again

Verse 3
G              Em     Cadd9    Em
When sins they rob my heart of joy
          D               Cadd9     G
And condemnation seems to steal even more
       Em      Cadd9    Em
This I recall, You rose again
               D          Cadd9 G
And I rose with You, hallelujah amen
        D       Em       Cadd9  G
So if I live in want, or die in shame
   D       Em         Cadd9  G
To live is You and to die is gain

I in You and You in me
           D           Cadd9 G
My God, my Brother, my Identity

Were I tempted with the best of earth
         Cadd9                  Em
All it's pleasures and all it's gold
                        D
And if fame in all it's kingdoms
    Cadd9          G
Was in my hands to hold
                            Em
I'd scorn it all for You've given me
    Cadd9            Em
The treasure of Your Son
                            D
And now I'm richer than the richest
           Cadd9         G
For You've given me Your love
