Verse 1:
A augmentedA E/G# F# minorF#m
This is the story of a runaway
D MajorD A augmentedA
With no way home and no way out
E/G# F# minorF#m
I threw the best of me away
D MajorD A augmentedA
I had my chance, it's too late now
E/G# F# minorF#m
Too far gone and too ashamed
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
To think that You'd still know my name
D MajorD Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
But love refused to let my story end that way
Chorus:
A augmentedA E/G# D MajorD
You didn't wait for me to find my way to You
A augmentedA
I couldn't cross that distance even if I wanted to
E/G#
You came running after me
D MajorD B minorBm
When anybody else would've turned and left me at my worst
A augmentedA
Love moved first
E/G# F# minorF#m D MajorD
Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohhh, oh-oh-ohh
Verse 2:
A augmentedA E/G# F# minorF#m
What kind of grace, relentless grace
D MajorD A augmentedA
Would chase this rebel down
E/G# F# minorF#m
Crawl into this prisoner's cage
D MajorD A augmentedA
Take my hand and pull me out
E/G# F# minorF#m
You knew I couldn't make the change
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
So You became the change in me
D MajorD Esus4Esus4
And now I live to tell the story
E MajorE
Of the God who rescues

D MajorD
From the throne to the manger

From a manger to the grave

Your cross is the proof

From a grave meant to keep You

To a stone rolled away

Your cross is the proof
A augmentedA
Love made the first move

I remember where You found me

That love made the first move
