verse 1
Dm Bb C
I saw one hanging on a tree in agony and blood,
Dm Gm7 Am7
Who fixed His loving eyes on me as near His cross I stood
Gsus G Bb Am
And never till my dying breath will I forget that look.
Dm C Bb2
It seemed to charge me with His death
Am7 G Bb C
Though not a word He spoke.
 
[Refrão] F Bb Gm Dm C6 Bb
Forever etched upon my mind is the look of Him who died,
F/A Gm Csus C
The Lamb I crucified

And now my life will sing the praise of pure atoning grace,
F/A Gm7 Am7 Bb
That looked on me and gladly took my place.
 
verse 2
Dm Bb C
My conscience felt and owned the guilt and plunged me in despair
Dm Gm7 Am7
I saw my sins His blood had spilt, and helped to nail Him there
Gsus G Bb Am
But with a second look He said, I freely all forgive
Dm C Bb2
This blood is for your ransom paid.
Am7 G Bb C
I died that you might live
 
verse 3

Thus while His death my sin displays for all the world to view,
Dm Gm7 Am7
Such is the mystery of grace It seals my pardon too.

With pleasing grief and mournful joy, my spirit is now filled,
Dm C Bb2 Am7 G Bb C
That I should such a life destroy Yet live by Him I killed.
