By: Sandra McCracken


Verse 1:
 E minorEm       C majorC       G+G       B7B7
I used to nuture bitterness, to count up every slight
  E minorEm       C majorC       G+G        B7B7
The world's a moral wilderness and I have felt its blight
   E minorEm      C majorC        E minorEm     C majorC
Self-pity ruled, resentment rained, no one understood my pain
 E minorEm    C majorC    G+G   B7B7   E minorEm   C majorC   G+G    B7B7
I spiraled down in murky night insisting that I had the right
  E minorEm    B/D#B/D#  D MajorD
To hate and hate again

Chorus 1:
E minorEm  C majorC    G+G   B7B7 B/D#B/D#
I am ashamed, ashamed

O my Lord, forgive


Verse 2:
  E minorEm       C majorC        G+G        B7B7
But then the gospel taught me how to contemplate the cross
  E minorEm          C majorC        G+G          B7B7
For there Christ died for me and now I've glimpsed the bitter cost
  E minorEm       C majorC        E minorEm      C majorC
He bore abuse and blows and hate, He did not retaliate
  E minorEm   C majorC   G+G      B7B7      E minorEm   C majorC    G+G   B7B7
Triumphant malice sneered and tossed, blind rage at him, He never lost
  E minorEm    B/D#B/D#   D MajorD
The love that conquers hate

I am ashamed, ashamed

O my Lord, forgive

Verse 3:
  E minorEm         C majorC         G+G       B7B7
To make no threat, to smile, forgive, to love and not because I must
  E minorEm       C majorC        G+G          B7B7
For Jesus showed me how to live and trust the one who's just
  E minorEm       C majorC       E minorEm        C majorC
To suffer all and feel the pain, certain that the loss is gain
  E minorEm  C majorC    G+G    B7B7    E minorEm   C majorC   G+G    B7B7
Oh God I want so much to trust, to follow Jesus on that cross
  E minorEm    B/D#B/D#  D MajorD    E minorEm    B/D#B/D#  D MajorD
To love and love again, to love and love again

O my Lord, forgive
