        Eb                     Bbsus        Bb
Oh, the perfect Son of God, in all His innocence
     Eb/G           Ab        Cm      Bb
Here walking in the dirt with you and me
   Eb                           Bbsus             Bb
He knows what living is, He’s acquainted with our grief
       Eb/G        Ab     Cm    Bb
Man of sorrows and Son of suffering

[CHORUS 1]
          Ab                Eb/G
Blood and tears, how can it be?
                  Bb                       Cm     
There's a God who weeps, there’s a God who bleeds
    Eb         Ab          Bb          Cm
Oh, praise the One who had reached for me

[VERSE 2]
Eb                      Bbsus         Bb           
   Some imagine You are distant and removed
        Eb/G              Ab   Cm     Bb
But You chased us down in merciful pursuit
       Eb                             Bbsus        B  
To the sinner You were grace, and the broken You embraced
    Eb/G              Ab       Cm      Bb
And  in  the end, the proof is in Your wounds
    Eb/G              Ab      Ab/C     Bb
Oh,  in  the end, the proof is in Your wounds
