O Beloved

[Verso 1] Am Dm E Am F E Am Oh beloved, oh beloved; nailed unto the cross for me Am Dm E Am F E Am O what sin hast Thou committed; Thou who callest all to be. C F G E Am F E Oh beloved, wish that I could; spend the rest of life with Thee Am C Dm E Asus2 Am F E Am Worshipping Thine holy passion, cru-ci-fy-ing the flesh for Thee. [Verso 2] Am Dm E Am F E Am Daughter of Zion behold Me; stricken and smitten for Thee Am Dm E Am F E Am Friend and kin, I have forsaken; there is none to comfort me. C F G E Am F E All alone I'll tread the winepress, all alone I'll drink the cup Am C Dm E Asus2 Am F E Am Shedding my blood for Thee to ransom, and my flesh for Thee to sup. [Verso 3] Am Dm E Am F E Am I was bound, and I was smitten, and they did spit in my face. Am Dm E Am F E Am I was stripped, and I was scourged, I was condemned in your place. C F G E Am F E Your sins became my crown of thorns; Oh that you would understand Am C Dm E Asus2 Am F E Am Every time you sin a new, it's one more nail in my hand. [Verso 4] Am Dm E Am F E Am Like a lamb brought to the slaughter, like a pure sheep to be sheared. Am Dm E Am F E Am King, Creator, Lord, and Master, by His creatures, mocked and jeered. C F G E Am F E Despised, rejected, with grief acquainted, and of men was not esteemed. Am C Dm E Asus2 Am F E Am Bruised and wounded, sore afflicted, yet, with His stripes we were healed [Verso 5] Am Dm E Am F E Am Lord create in us a fountain; that with tears will ever flow. Am Dm E Am F E Am And a heart contrite and broken, and the spirit within renew. C F G E Am F E Oh that we could shed the tears, over Thy feet pierced and bruised Am C Dm E Asus2 Am F E Am Oh that we al-ways remember, for our sins Thou were abused.
