God Be Praised

VERSE 1

                G               D

You left Your throne for our salvation

        G                       Bm       A

Jesus Christ, the hope of our nation

         G                       D

Battered by the weight of our nature

          G         A       D

For our crimes You came to save
VERSE 2

            G                      D

God of the world, You walked among us

             G                     Bm       A

Covered in flesh, in all of our weakness

             G                        D

You were despised, embarrassed, and lonely

                   G       A     D

But through Your shame we came alive
CHORUS

          G      Bm

God be praised

   D    A                   G      Bm

Forever we will shout Your name

  D        A

Lord over all

           G         Bm

You left heaven for earth

       D       A

Your glory for us

       G        A     D

Risen King be lifted high
VERSE 3

            G                     D

Out of the dark, and into Your likeness

           G                   Bm        A

Caught in hope, a love so relentless

           G                           D

Called by name, Your sons and Your daughters

                G        A    D

Bought with a price, we are alive
BRIDGE

   Bm         A           D          G

Because I’m alive, I’ll give You my life

   Bm         A          D           G

Because I am free, I’ll bow at Your feet

   Bm          A         D       G

Because I am loved, I’m able to love

   Bm          A         D        G

Because I am Yours, my worth is secure
