[Verse 1]
[C]I w[Em]as bo[Am]rn[C][Em][Gsus4][G][C]
[Em]in chains [G]but I was [Am]taken out of Egypt
I was bound [F#dim]to a burd[C]en,[Em]
but the burden [Am]it was ra[Gsus4]ised[G]
[Em]Lord [F]I can no lon[A]ger keep this sec[Dm]ret
[Bb]Blessed is the [F]name, the [F#dim]name be prai[Gsus4]sed[G]

[Verse 2]
I [C]fled to [Bsus4]the edge [Em]of a
[Am]mighty sea of sorrow
Pursued [C]by [Em]the riders [G]of a [Am]cruel
and dark re[Gsus4]gime
[G]But the water[F]s parted [A]an
d my soul crossed over
[Dm]Out [Bb]of Egypt,[F]
[F#dim]out of Pharaoh's dr[Gsus4]eam
[G]Word of words

[Verse 3]
[E]and the mea[Am]sure
of all measures
[E]Blessed is the name,
the name [Am]be blessed
Written on my [F]heart in [Fm]burning [C]letters
[Am]That's all I kno[Ab]w, I cannot read the r[Gsus4]est[G]

[Verse 4]
I was [C]idled with [Em]my soul,
when I [Am]heard that you could use me
I fol[C]lowed very [Em]closely,
[Bsus4]but my li[Em]fe rema[Am]ined the same[Gsus4]
But then [F]you showed me [A]where you
had been [Dm]wounded[Bb]
[Eb]In every [F]atom [F#dim]broken is[Gsus4] a name
[G]I was alone

[Verse 5]
[C]on the[G] road,
your [Em]love [Am]was so c[G]onfusing
[C]All my teachers t[Em]old me
I had [Am]myself [G]to blame
But [F]in the grip of sen[A]sual illusion
[Dm]The [Bb]sweet unknow
[F]ing [F#dim]uni fies a nam[Gsus4]e
[G]Word of words,

[Verse 6]
[E]
and [Am]the measure of all [Em]measures
[E]Blessed is the name,
[Am]the name be blessed
Written on [F]my heart [Db]in burning [C]letters
[Am]That's all I know,[F#dim]
[Ab]I cannot read th[Gsus4]e rest[G]

[Verse 7]
I've heard the soul un[C]folds[Em]
[G]in the cham[Am] ber [Dm]s of its [Am]longing
[G]And the bit[Gsus4]ter liquor [C]sweetens
[Em]in t[Am]he amber[Dm] cup[Gsus4]
[G]But [F]all the ladder[A]s of the night h[Dm]ave fallen
[Bb]Only darkness now,[F]
to [F#dim]lift the longing up[Gsus4]
[G]Word of words

[Verse 8]
[E]and measure
of all [Am]measures
[E]Blessed is the name,
the name [Am]be blessed
Written on [F]my heart in [Fm]burning [C]letters
[Am]That's all I kno[Ab]w, I cannot read the rest
