• Difficulty: Beginner

✝ Verse 1:
Am
I have strayed from the path of the righteous, O God
                                   E
I have turned from the way that is hope for my soul
       Am            C          Dm                Em
I have lurked in the shadows of darkness and sin,
F          E        Am
Save Me, O merciful God!


✝ Chorus:
      F                   C
And I fall, I fall at the foot of the cross
      F                Am
And I call, I call out “Forgive me!”
        F
And the blood of the saviour
         C      Am
Takes my burden away
                               E         Am
I’m a sinner in the hands of a merciful God

✝ Verse 2:
Am
Anger and pride have blackened my heart
                                E
The words of my mouth have been seasoned with sin
          Am           C         Dm                  Em
I’ve been lured by the lust that leads to the grave,
F          E        Am
Save Me, O merciful God!


✝ Chorus:
      F                   C
And I fall, I fall at the foot of the cross
      F                Am
And I call, I call out “Forgive me!”
        F
And the blood of the saviour
         C      Am
Takes my burden away
                               E         Am
I’m a sinner in the hands of a merciful God


✝ Verse 3:
Am
I can blame none other for my reckless offence
                              E
I was heedless to warnings of peril and threat
       Am           C         Dm               Em
I have drifted into snares of whispered deceit
F          E        Am
Save Me, O merciful God!

✝ Chorus:
      F                   C
And I fall, I fall at the foot of the cross
      F                Am
And I call, I call out “Forgive me!”
        F
And the blood of the saviour
         C      Am
Takes my burden away
                               E         Am
I’m a sinner in the hands of a merciful God


✝ Verse 4:
Am
O the wonders of mercy in Jesus the lamb
                               E
The sinless redeemer who would die in my place
  Am          C            Dm               Em
I came by His grace with a singular plea
F          E        Am
Save Me, O merciful God!


✝ Chorus:
      F                   C
And I fall, I fall at the foot of the cross
      F                Am
And I call, I call out “Forgive me!”
        F
And the blood of the saviour
         C      Am
Takes my burden away
                               E         Am
I’m a sinner in the hands of a merciful God


✝ Outro:
                               E         Am
