HE DIED FOR US

Words: Jimmy Owens
Copyright 1971 by Lillenas Publishing Co.

Am                                E 
When we were sinners, Jesus came 
Am                    Em
And took upon Himself our blame 
Dm                            E 
Willing to bear our sin and shame 
Am 
He died for us. 

Am                      E 
The Son of God became a man  
Am                                Em
Fulfilling God's eternal plan; 
Dm                            E 
Conceived before the world began 
Am 
He died for us. 

Chorus
            F                    G                    Em                    Am 
There once stood a wall, deep and white, strong and tall 
                Dm            G7            CMaj7    C7 
There it stood built of all, our unholiness 
                F                G7 
But this man, by His blood 
Em                                        Am 
Broke the wall, loosed the flood 
                                            Dm        G7                E 
(Loosed the flood) of the Mercies of God to mankind.

Am                          
And now God offers to each one 
Am                                Em
A priceless pardon for what we've done 
Am                                E
Because of Jesus, His own Son; 
Am 
Who died for us. He died for us.
