The Sweetest Words He Ever Said - Joel Hemphill and J.D. Sumner Chords

He could have said, I'm too busy.
_ I don't have the time.
He could have said, [C#] I just don't want to get involved.
[D] _ He could have pointed his finger [Fm] at me and condemned [C#m] me.
_ But [N] instead, he said, I forgive. _
That's the sweetest words I have heard.
He said, I forgive.

_ _ _ _ Like the woman brought to Jesus who was taken in her sin,
I was so ashamed of what I'd [G] done and where I had been.
[F] Well, just this awful pain, there was more than I could give.
But mercy smiled upon me, saying, I forgive.
Those sweetest words he ever said were, I forgive.
My organ had sinned, and sin was wiped away.
[G] And I [C] could not admit [F] where I'd gone.
There was no amount of thanks that he would give.
But the sweetest words he ever said were, I forgive. _ _ _ _ _

Well, if you're tired of living with the wrong that you have
done, come on home to [D#m] Jesus.
You [G#] know he's the [C#] cleansing one.
[F#] In his arms, he'll hold you.
You've just begun to live.
When you hear him [D#m] gently [F#] whisper, I forgive.
