_ [B] _ _ [Ab] _ _ I [Ebm] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] know you, _ _ _ [Abm] I've seen you all my _ life _ [Ab] A figure on the _ crucifix, a death without
a fight _ [Bbm] You're hanging there [Ab] upon a [Bbm] cross just by
your hands [G] and feet _ [Eb] The picture's clear but the story's _ incomplete
[Ab] _ _ _ _
So [Db] what was it _ that [Abm] led you to that tree? _
_ [Bb] That made you lay by the dove [A] to save someone [Gbm] like me?
[Bbm] Cause though it's true, [A] I know that you [Bbm] were God inside [G] of me
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] So I guess sometimes it's hard to _ _ understand What held you on the _ cross
_ _ [Fm] When you could have walked [Abm] away _ [F] I see what you've done and I [Ebm] just have to
[Db] say [Ab] What [Abm] held you on [Db] the _ _ _ _ cross
Was [Fm] more than [Db] just the [Ab] _ [Gb] nails [F] With all the pain and _ suffering
[Bbm] Of all that you had [G] _ lost [Eb] Your love for me could only be
[Ab] What held you on _ [Eb] the cross
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You [Db] saw me, _ _ _ _ [Abm] I guess you must have known _ [Bbm] My life would be in darkness
_ _ [A] So you and you _ alone [Bbm] would bear the stripes [A] The crown of thorns [Db] in all [G] humility _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] Lord I see myself but it's hard for me to _ [Ab] see
What held you [Db] on the _ _ _ _ _ cross When you could have walked away
[Ab] _
_ [Gb] _ [F] I see what you've done and I [Ebm] just have to [Fm] say
[Eb] What held [Db] you on the _ _ [Eb] cross _ _ [Fm] Was more than [Db] just the _ [Gb] nails
With [F] all the pain and suffering [Bbm] Of all that you had [G] lost
Your [Ebm] love for me [Db] could only [Ab] be What held you on the [Db] cross
I _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ don't deserve your mercy [Db] Still [Gb] you love me just the [Db] same
_ [Gb] You died for me and yet it's hard [Ab] to know _ What held [Fm] you on [Db] _ _
the cross
When you could have walked [Ab] away [Gb] _ I [F] see what [F] you've done and I just [Ebm] have to [Db] say
What [Ebm] held you [Fm] on _ _ the cross _ _ Was [Db] more than just the [Gb] _ nails
[F] With all the pain and suffering _ [Bbm] Of all that [Db] you [G] had _ lost
[Ebm] Your love for me [Db] could only be [Ab] _
What held you _ on [Eb] _ _
the cross
[Bb] _ _ [Bbm] _ [Ebm] Your love for me [Db] could only be _ [Ab] What held you on the _ [Eb] _ _ cross _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
