Verse 1
Gm2 Eb
Not by words and not by deeds,
Gm2 Eb
But by grace we have been saved,
Gm2 Eb Fsus
And it is the gift of God, the faith we need.
Eb2 Gm2 Eb
Not by strength and not by might,
Gm2 Eb
But with power from on high
Gm2 Eb F Eb2
So that we can only boast, boast in You.
Chorus
Bb Eb2 Fsus
For once I was dead, now I'm alive;
Eb2
For freedom I'm set free.
Bb Eb2 Fsus
And in Your great love, life do I find
Eb2 Bb
You opened up my eyes.
Verse 2
Gm2 Eb
Not with eloquence or fame,
Gm2 Eb
But in weakness and in shame,
Gm2 Eb Fsus
For the power of Your strength is then revealed.
Eb2 Gm2 Eb
And the message of Your cross
Gm2 Eb
Seemed such foolishness to some,
Gm2 Eb F Eb2
But the mercy of Your grace is hidden there.
Bridge
Eb2 Gm7 F/A
What mercy, what mercy,
Bb Eb2
What mercy beneath Your cross.
Eb2 Gm7 F/A
Your mercy, Your mercy,
Bb Eb2
Your mercy beneath Your cross.
