Intro
 Dmaj7 A2

Verse 1
D                                      Bm
Fate, holds nothing on the providence I know
                                     G2
No longer bound to things of wood and stone
                              D
When all I had to offer was my worst
     Asus                          D
You saw my heavy heart and loved me first
                                 Bm
Your beauty staring down my brokenness
                                        G2
You chose to throw Your heart into the mess
                                D             Asus
Compassion crashing down upon my debt You were there

Pre-chorus 1
          Bm           G                         D
All this time, Like a river running through my failure
             A           Bm               G
You carried me all this time, like the splinters buried in
        D                  A
Your shoulders You carry me now

Chorus 1
      D                                   Asus 
Hallelujah, if ever now my heart cries hallelujah
    A                            G
If ever now in the wonder of Your grace
                                    D           A
A thousand times a thousand years my soul will say

Verse 2
 D                                             Bm
Grace, You saw the crushing weight my flesh deserved
                                    G
You kneeled and wrote forgiveness in the dirt
                                         D
And one by one the stones fell where they lay
                                 Bm
As one by one my accusers walked away
                                      G
With nothing left to throw they made a cross
                                       D
And knowing only love could count the cost
          A
You were there

Pre-chorus 2
          Bm           G                         D
All this time, Like a river running through my failure
             A           Bm               G
You carried me all this time, like the splinters buried in
       D             A                 Bm
Your shoulders Your love carried all my shame
G                        D              A                  Bm
Jesus how my soul will praise You, You carried me all this way
         G                          D                     A
Like a diamond in the scars upon Your crown You carry me now

Chorus 1

Chorus 2
     D                            A
Hallelujah, forever now in the greatness of my Saviour
                                     G  
Forever now in the brightness of Your Name 
                                 D
Jesus on this rock I'll sing Your praise
