(capo 3)

Verse 1
    
    Bb(G)                      F/A(D/F#)
you chose the cross with every breath
    Gm7(Em7)
The perfect life, the perfect death
Eb(C)               Bb(G)    F(D)
     You chose the cross
  Bb(G)                        F/A(D/F#)
A crown of thorns you wore for us
    Gm7(Em7)
And crowned us with eternal life
Eb(C)               Bb(G)    F(D)
     You chose the cross
    Cm7(Am7)             Bb/D(G/B)          F(D) 
And though your soul was overwhelmed with pain
 Cm7(Am7)    Bb/D(G/B)    F(D)
Obedient to death you overcame


Chorus

            Bb(G)
I'm lost in wonder
            Gm7(Em7)
I'm lost in love
            Eb(C)           F(D)
I'm lost in praise for evermore
           Bb(G)             Gm7(Em7)
Because of Jesus' unfailing love
        Eb(C)
I am forgiven
         F(D)
I am restored


Verse 2

you loosed the chords of sinfulness
And broke the chains of my disgrace
You chose the cross
Up from the grave victorious
You rose again so glorious
You choss the cross
The sorrow that surrounded you was mine
"Yet not my will but yours be done" you cried
