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 E
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.
