Verse 1:
        D
You may wonder why I sing his praise,
      G             A
Every chance that I get.
        D
You may wonder why I raise my hands,
   G            A
Or why I shout amen
        D                D7
You may wonder why tears fill my eyes,
       G        D/F#       Em
When I hear the old rugged cross
        G            D
You may wonder why I live for him,
      G               A
Why I serve him at any cost

Chorus:
N.C.       D            F#m
But if you knew what my life was like,
       G              D
Before Jesus came and made things right
    G                 D         Bm    A
And saved me from the mess that I was in
           D               F#m
And if you only knew where I would be
       G            D
Had it not been for Calvary
        G                A    D      G
Then my friend you would understand.

D   D7   G D/F# Em
G   A    D      G  A


Verse 2:
        D
Looking back on how far I've come,
    G               A
And how much he has blessed
        D
All the joys that he has given me,
  G               A
Despite my sinful past.
   D                     D7
No greater friend have I ever known
          G       D/F#      Em
Than this one who walks by my side.
    G         D
And oh what a difference
         G          A
Since he came into my life.


Chorus:
N.C.       D            F#m
But if you knew what my life was like,
       G              D
Before Jesus came and made things right
    G                 D         Bm    A
And saved me from the mess that I was in
           D               F#m
And if you only knew where I would be
       G            D
Had it not been for Calvary
        G                A    D
Then my friend you would understand.
           D               F#m
And if you only knew where I would be
       G            D
Had it not been for Calvary
        G                A    D
Then my friend you would understand.
