That He would save a wretch like me
       C majorC           G+G
So full of gloom and dread that I hung my head
  A augmentedA            D MajorD
I wouldn't claim the victory
     G+G
Then one day His love like a winged dove
           C majorC
Settled down upon my life

My ticket to paradise

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

I'm the center of His delight
