(g f#) in the intro signifies playing g and f# as base notes between the chords. [Intro] Em | A | C | D Dsus4 Dsus2 D | (g f#) Em [Verse 1]
I aEmwoke to hear the jailer Turn the Akey and push the door Get Cout here, he shouted But I sDtayed there on the floor
EmFrozen in the terror That Arose and filled my brain For I Cknew what they intended DI could not face the Empain
[Verse 2]
Then Emsoldiers came into the cell And they dragged me to the yard They Athrew me down before a cross
And brought the whip down hard
BmCarry it, they shouted As I struggled to my feet I put Cmy shoulder under it And Ddragged it to the street
I Emstumbled through a wall of screams As they Adrove me through the gate I couldC see the thousands lined the street Their Dvoices filled with hate
Like a Emwolf pack in the night That Amoves in for the kill Asus4 A They Cclosed the gap in front of us DAs we started up the Emhill
[Verse 4]
And it Emseemed I'd barely reached the top As they grabbed me from behind They Athrew the cross down under me
And tied the ropes that bind
The Bmarms close to the beams As they nailed the feet and hands And they Craised the cross up in the air DAnd dropped it in it's stEmand
EmThrough a blur of pain I saw the Across there next to mine There were Cpeople all around it So I Dlooked to read the sign Dsus4 D
It was Emnailed there up above His head So the Aworld could see the news The Cman who seemed so helpless there Was the DKing of all the EmJews
[Verse 4]
And the Emcrowd that stood around his cross Made jokes about his name They Ashouted, laughed, and spat on him
So I joined in the game
I said, BmHey! If you're the King Why don't You get us down from here But the Ctaunt just sounded hollow It DecDsus4hoed iDn my earEms
As He Emlooked at me with eyes That seemed to Areach into my heart They Cshone a light on all my lies And Dtore my life apart
There was Emmore that lay behind that gaze Then Asimply mud and clay Asus4 A But Cknowing was too much for me D I had to look awayEm
[Verse 5]
But I Emchanced another look at Him While He was lookin' down Where the Asoldiers who just crucified us
Drank there on the ground
And Bmalthough He spoke them quietly Somehow his words came through He said, CFather, please forgive them D They don't know what they Emdo
And then as Emif they heard Him speakin' The Acrowd began to roar CWith the frenzy by the priests Who Durged them on to more
But the Emworse the accusations The Aplainer I could see The Cguilt of the accusers Not the DOne there next to mEme
[Verse 6]
But Emthe one on the other cross Began to curse and swear And his Avoice was filled with venom
As he hurled it through the air
All the Bmhorror that was in him It laid his life to waste Came Cout of every syllable He Dflung in Jesus' face
EmJesus only looked at him But Asomethin' rose inside o' me In Cspite of all that watched us there It Dcouldn't be denied
Because his Emrighteousness and innocence Were Ashining bright and strong I just Ccouldn't keep my silence As that Dcursing still went on
[Verse 7]
I said, Emdon't you fear the wrath of God? Even at the end? You'll Acurse us both into the pit
Is that what you intend?
We're Bmonly getting what we're due Send our whole lives long But Cdon't you talk to Him that way D Cause He's done nothin' EmwroDngEm
EmThen with all my courage In a Avoice not my own I Casked him, Lord remember me When You Dcome into your throne Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
He Emanswered me and even then His Alove was undisguised He Csaid, before the sun will set today You'll be with DMeDsus4 in paDsus2radiseD Em
[Verse 8]
The Emshouts and curses did not stop Even Awhen the sunlight ceased But Csomehow in the midst of it My Dsoul had been releasedDsus4 Dsus2 D
Though the Emagony continued It's Astill too small a price To Cbe allowed to hear those words To Ddie beside the EChrist

Then Gdarkness changed to dawning And I Cheard the sound of voices The Aair was warm around me I Dstood beside a stream
And GAbraham was speaking CTo the multitudes before him The unAfolding of the Answer To our Dprayers and hopes and dreams
GThen far across the chasm CCame a rumbling like the thunder And the APrince Of Peace came shining From His Dmouth the power screamed G
And the Gwalls and towers crumbled And the Cgates of hell went under A Athousand sang the victory DWe have been redeemed
[Chorus]
GJesus is the Lord of all CJesus is the Lord of all AJesus is the Lord of all DWe have been redeemed
[Chorus]
GJesus is the Lord of all CJesus is the Lord of all AJesus is the Lord of all DWe have been redeemed
[Bridge 2]
GJoy, Cjoy, Ajoy, Djoy
[Chorus]
GJesus is the Lord of all CJesus is the Lord of all AJesus is the Lord of all DWe have been redeemed G Gsus4 G
