[VERSE 1]
      E     G#m  F#                                   B/D#
I saw mercy,      mercy seated where the judge should be
    E      G#m  F#                              B
Was guilty,      guilty and getting out of jail free
    E                                     G#m
How could it be I didn't get the life I deserved 
    F#                                                   B/D#
And the only thing that He wanted was my heart in return
E                                     G#m         F#
Every time I think about every time I thought was the end
I'm caught up wonder again

[CHORUS]
B                  B/D#  E
  Where would I be,        where would I be
F#    G#m                 F# E
If it wasn't for the love of God
B                  B/D#    E
  This song of victory  is,  now mine to sing
F#   G#m                F# E
Hallelujah for the love of God
                B
Has set me free

[TAG]
B            B/D#  E                    F#      G#m
  Hallelujah,        Hallelujah for the love of God
           F#  E
Hallelujah,      Hallelujah for the love of God

[VERSE 2]
      E        G#m        F#                           B/D#
I was thirsty, but like a desert turning to a field of green
        E         G#m    F#                           B
Started breathing,  when heaven's favor took ahold of me
    E                                       G#m
How could it be I'm living with an infinite worth
      F#                                             B/D#
Cause the one I thought I chose had really chosen me first
E                                     G#m             F#    
Every time I think about every time I thought was the end
I'm caught up wonder again

[BRIDGE] [x2]
B                                  B/D#  E
  If it wasn't for my failures and mis - takes
                                 F#   G#m
I would never know the depths of this grace
                               F#    E
Now my heart is beating for heaven's sake
                    B
And for the love of God

[CHORUS]
