Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][A]
You [Bm]held out [D]Your arms,

[Verse 1]
[A]
I walked [D]away
Insolent, [A]I spurned [D]Your [Bm]face
[G]Squan[Bm]dering [D]the gifts [A]You gave [Bm]to me
And holding [D]close [A]forbidden
[D]thing[Bm]s[D][Bm]
[Dsus4]Des ti tu[D]te, a reb[A]el still[Bm]
A [G]fool [Bm]in all my p[G]ride[A]
[D]The world I once enjoyed is death [Bm]to me
No [G]joy, no [A]hope, [Bm]no life

[Verse 2]
[D]Where now are the friends
that [A]I h[Bm]ad bought?
[G]Gone with [D]every [A]penny [Bm]lost
[D]What hope could there be for [A]such as [Bm]I
[G]Sold out [D]to [A]a world of [Bm]lies?
[G]Oh, [D]to see [A]Your face [Bm]again
[Em]It seems so [D]distant [A]now
[G]Could it be that [D]You would
[A]take me [Bm]back
[G]A servant [A]in [Bm]Your house?
[G]

[Verse 3]
[A]You held [D]out Your arms,
[A]I see the[Bm]m still
[G]You never [D]left, [A]You never [Bm]will
[D]Running to embrace me, [A]now I [Bm]know
Your [G]cords of [D]love will al[A]ways [Bm]hold
[G]Mercy's [D]robe, [A]a ring [Bm]of grace
Such [Em]fa vo[D]r unde[A]served
[D]You sing [A]over [Bm]me a[D]nd c[G]elebra[D]te
The [G]rebel [A]now [Bm]Your child

[Outro 1]
[G][D][A]
