   D                    G      A      D
1. And can it be that   I      should gain
2. He left His Father’s throne a- - - bove,
3. Long my imprisoned   spir - it     lay,
4. No condemnation      now    I      dread;
     G     A      D   G   E        A
An   in- - t’rest in  the Savior’s blood!
So   free, so     in–fi–nite His grace;
Fast bound in     sin and nature’s night;
Je - sus,  and    all in  Him, is  mine!
A7                   D          A7
Died He for me, who  caused His pain?
Emptied Himself of   all but    love,
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray;
Alive in Him, my     living     Head,
    G          D        A           D
For me, who    Him to   death    pursued?
And bled for   Adam’s   helpless    race.
I   woke, the  dungeon  flamed with light;
And clothed in righteousness      divine,
                       G     E   A
Amazing love! how      can   it  be
’Tis mercy all,      immense and free;
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
Bold I approach    th’eter - nal throne,
     D          G              A         D
That Thou, my   God, shouldst  die for   me?
For  O my       God, it        found out me.
I    rose, went forth, and     followed  Thee.
And  claim the  crown, through Christ my own.
            A         A7     D
    Amazing love! How can it be
         G        D    G        D   A7  D
    That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
