Verse:
         C majorC                       G MajorG
So many years I cried 'cause my soul denied
     C majorC                           G MajorG
That He would save a wretch like me
             C majorC                     G MajorG
So full of gloom and dread that I hung my head
   A majorA                       D MajorD
I wouldn't claim the victory
          G MajorG
Then one day His love like a winged dove
                      C majorC
Settled down upon my life
                       G MajorG
And I realized he had authorized
    D MajorD             G MajorG
My ticket to paradise


Chorus:
        G MajorG
On the authority of the Holy Word
   C majorC                    G MajorG
I rise up and take my stand
        G MajorG                               E minorEm
I'm a blood bought child of the living God
     A majorA              D MajorD
Who is the Great I A minorAm
        DmDm               G MajorG
I'm an heir to all that heaven holds
     C majorC            A majorA
And no principality
          G MajorG     FF      E MajorE
Can ever take away my royal crown
       A majorA         D MajorD   G MajorG

Verse:
           C majorC           G MajorG
It's a mystery why He came to me
    C majorC                           G MajorG
Why He would choose me for His own
        C majorC                    G MajorG
Why He pulled me out of the lake of doubt
        A majorA                  D MajorD
Set me right beside His throne
        G MajorG
Why he guaranteed, with His seal decreed
                   C majorC
My inheritance by right
         C majorC                       G MajorG
I'm His favored child, and that makes me smile
         D MajorD               G MajorG
I'm the center of His delight
