Db

Verse 1

Db  Ab
I could stand here and try to tell you
Bbm
I found my way here on my own
Gb
Brought to life this heart of stone
Db  Ab
Made up my own mind to change my own life
Bbm  Gb
Workin' my own way to good, as if anybody could

Pre-Chorus

Ab
But the truth is
Bbm  Gb
I've been broken since my very first breath
Ab
And the truth is
Bbm  Gb
I've been wanderin' since my very first step

Chorus

Db  Ab
I know the only reason I can stand here unashamed
Bbm  Gb
It's not because I'm worthy, it's all because of mercy
Db
There's no way that I could earn it
Ab
Praise God, my debt is paid
Bbm  Gb
It's not because I'm worthy, it's all because of mercy

Verse 2

Db  Ab
I still remember the day He found me
Bbm
Six feet under all my shame

I heard Him call me out by name

Hallelujah, the cross has spoken

Jesus my Savior bled and died
Gb
To bring this dead man back to life

Chorus
