Lyrics

I won dered how to come to You.

I did not dare be lieve it true that (C)You re gard the or phaned ones be (C)lov ed (F)daugh ters, (G)wor thy (C)sons.

The bro ken and the bar ren too, I heard could find some rest in You.

What (C)kind of love in in j’ry’s place would (C)lov ed (F)daugh ters, (G)wor thy (C)sons.

The bro (C)leave in (F)stead the (G)stain of (Csus)grace?

So I (F)come

in sor row and I (Dm)come

in shame,

I (Am)come to the cross with my

pain.

Just (C)as I am,

with out

one plea,

but (G)that

Thy (F)blood

was shed (G)for

(Fmaj7)me,

and (C)that Thou bidd’st

me come

to Thee.

O Lamb

of God,

(Fmaj7)I come,

I come.

The par don that I found from sin spilled out from where the nails went in.

My (C)heart will ev er more pro claim: I (C)had not (F)lived un (G)til that (C)day.

I know there is a crown for me be yond where (C)mor tal eyes

can (Am7)see.

And I don’t nod to an y man, but of fer (F)me just (G)as I (Csus)am.

So I (F)come

re joic ing,

with (Dm)hands

held high,

and I (Am)come sing ing words of new (G)life.

Just

of God,

(C)O Lamb of

(F)God I come.
