[Bm]And I will lov[A]e You f[G]or the co[Bm]st[A][G]
[A]Man of sufferings, [G]Bringer of my pea[Bm]ce.[A][G]
[Bm]You came i[A]nto a w[G]orld of s[Bm]hame[A][G]
[Bm]And paid the [A]price we [G]could not [Bm]pay[A][G]
[A]Death that brought me li[G]fe,

[Bm]I love You for the cros[G]s,
[A]That Jesus You would do th[G]is for me.
When[Bm] You were broken, Y[G]ou were beaten,
[A]You were punished, I g[G]o free,
[Bm]When You were wounded a[G]nd rejected,
[A]In Your mercy, I am hea[Bm]led.[G][A]
VERSE 2:
Jesus Christ the sinner's Friend
Does this kindness know no bounds?
With Your precious blood You have purchased me.
O, the mystery of the cross
You were punished, You were crushed
But that punishment has become my peace
Yes, that punishment has become my peace.
