Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I was looking for [D]excuses
and you [A]offered me my [F#]soul
In the [Bm]name of all my weakness,
in the name of rock [E]and roll
[F#]By a sickness I'm healed,
cause [G]it broke you I'm whole
[Bm]Oh, the [G]wonderful blood of J[A]esus
[D]I went looking for the fig leaves
And you asked me [A]what they're for
[Bbdim]I was bui[F#]lding up [Bm]a wall
And you [E]offered me a door
[Bm]I wa[E]s hoping[F#] for silver spoons
When you [G]handed me a sword
[Bm]Oh, the [G]wonderful blood [A]of Jesus
[D]Mak[A]er is [F#]unmad[Bm]e
[F#]Law succumbs to [G]hate
[A]Life in selfless [D]slain
Is death the [F#]only way?
Is death the only way?
I went [D]looking for religion
Absolutely [A]not a friend
[F#]I went loo[Bm]king for ways out,
and He [E]showed me the way [Bm]in
I went [F#]looking for a ghost,
and instead [G]I found a man
[Bm]Oh, the [G]wonderful blood [A]of Jesus
[D]Felt like I was at the end,
felt like [A]giving up on life
[F#]I talk[Bm]ed about your mother,
[E]and denied you once or twice
Yeah, [F#]I plucked out your beard,
I put a [G]sword into your side
[Bm]Oh, the [G]wonderful blood of J[A]esus
[D]Life [A]and lov[G]e are[F#] torn[Bm]
By the [F#]blades of all our [G]swords
We [A]cut the final [D]cord
But this is mer[F#]cy's war,
this is mercy's war
I was [D]chasing after safety,
when my [A]world went up in flames
[F#]I wa[Bbdim]tched all [Bm]my defenses
wash like ashes [E]down the drain
[Abdim]I thought[E] yo[F#]u were a stranger,
but you [G]called me out by name
[Bm]Oh, the [G]wonderful blood of J[A]esus
[D]Your wounds were gaping open
I couldn't [A]recognize you at first
[Bbdim]All I had[Bm] to offer
Was an [E]insult or a curse
[F#]The blood dripped down like poison
On the [G]nauseated earth
[Bm]Oh, the [G]wonderful blood of J[A]esus
[D]This is [F#]mercy's world
This is [G]mercy's war
This is [D]mercy's [G]war
This is [F#]mercy's [G]world[D][G][F#]
[G]Oh,[Bm] the wond[G]erful God of J[A]esus you
