[Verse 1]
(D) G D/F#
There is an everlasting kindness
Em7 G/A D
You lavished on us
G D/F#
When the radiance of heaven
Em7 A7sus
came to rescue the lost;
G D/F#
You called the sheep without a shepherd
Em7 G/A D
To leave their dis-tress
G D/F#
For your streams of forgiveness
Em7 Em/A G
And the shade of Your rest.
G | D | A Bm7 A/C# | D
[Verse 2]
D G D/F#
And with compassion for the hurting,
Em7 G/A D
You reached out Your hand
G D/F#
As the lame ran to meet You
Em7 A7sus
And the dead breathed again;
G D/F#
You saw behind the eyes of sorrow
Em7 G/A D
And shared in our tears,
G D/F#
Heard the sigh of the weary,
Em7 Em/A D
Let the children draw near.
[Chorus]

What boundless love,

What fathomless grace

Each day we live

An offering of praise

As we show to the world Your compassion.

D G D/F#
We stood beneath the cross of Calvary
Em7 G/A D
And gazed on Your face
G D/F#
At the thorns of oppression
Em7 A7sus
And the wounds of disgrace,
G D/F#
For surely You have borne our suffering
Em7 G/A D
And carried our grief
G D/F#
As You pardoned the scoffer
Em7 Em7/A D
And showed grace to the thief.

D G D/F#
How beautiful the feet that carry
Em7 G/A D
This gospel of peace
G D/F#
To the fields of injustice
Em7 A7sus
And the valleys of need

To be a voice of hope and healing,
Em7 G/A D
To answer the cries
G D/F#
Of the hungry and helpless
Em7 Em7/A D
With the mercy of Christ.
