[Verse 1]
Bb                        Eb/Bb        
  The past that held re - gret  over my head is gone
Bb                      Eb/Bb   
  These chains are ashes now, that once were rusted on
Gm             Eb                   Bb      Eb/Bb  
  I was a runaway  now I am finally home

[Verse 2]
Bb                    Eb/Bb
  My mind was a ghost town haunted by yesterday
Bb                        Eb/Bb
  Until Your hand reached down, pulled me out of my grave
Gm                 Eb                   Bb      Eb/Bb  
  Into the freedom found only in Jesus' Name

[Chorus 1]
         Bb              F
I am forgiven, no longer lost
         Gm            Eb                 Bb    Eb/Bb
Now I am living in the power of the Cross

[Verse 3]
Bb                    Eb    
  The Father gave His Son so I could be set free
Bb                       Eb    
  And now the scales are gone, my eyes can finally see
Gm                       Eb                     Bb      Eb/Bb  
  I'll tell the world of all Jesus has done for me

[Chorus 2]
         Bb              F
I am forgiven, no longer lost
         Gm            Eb                 Bb    Eb/Bb
Now I am living in the power of the Cross
           Bb                  F
Goodbye to sorrow, welcome, my joy
         Gm            Eb                 Bb    Eb/Bb
Now I am living in the power of the Cross

[Bridge]
            F                    Gm
And on that Cross, His love held true
             Eb                 Bb
Through sacrifice, the old made new
            F               Gm
This life I live, I live in faith
       Eb
Now in Jesus' Name

[Chorus 2]

[Outro]
Bb                   Eb
Thank You, oh God, I thank You
         Gm
Jesus, I thank You
Eb                Bb     Eb/Bb
Thank You for the Cross
Bb                    Eb
Praise You, oh God, I praise You
         Gm
Jesus, I praise You
Eb                 Bb
Praise You for the Cross
