Intro: Am
What an awful dAmay
When the judgment comes
And the sinners hear
Their eternal dEoom
At the sad deAmcree
They’ll depart fore’
Into endless Dmwoe E7
Am E G Am (Rest)
And gloom, endless woe and gloom
Refrain:
I’m payingAm now
AmThe penalty
AmThat the unredeemed
Must ever pEay
Though for help I Amcry
AmIt is all in vain
For alas I’m DmdoomedE7
AmFore’, I’mE doomGed Amfore’
If I could reAmcall
AmAll the years now gone
AmFor my saviors cause
I would spend each oEne
But they never aAmgain
AmCan to me return
And the task is lDmeft E7
AmUndone, its leEft uGndoAmne
Refrain:
I’m payingAm now
AmThe penalty
AmThat the unredeemed
Must ever pEay
Though for help I Amcry
AmIt is all in vain
For alas I’m DmdoomedE7
AmFore’, I’mE doomGed Amfore’
Oh I reaAmlize
AmBut alas too late
AmWhat a dark mistake
All my life has bEeen
AmI refused his love
AmWith a various heart
And I must pay the pDmriceE7
AmOf sin, the prEice oGf sAmin
