Chords with lyrics
G C G D G
I once was a stranger to grace and to God
G C G D G
I knew not my danger, and felt not my load;
G Am D G C G D
Though friends spoke in rapture of Christ on the tree
G C G Am D G
Jehovah Tsidkenu was nothing to me.
G C G D G
I oft read with pleasure, to sooth or engage
G C G D G
Isaiah's wild measure and John's simple page;
G Am D G C G D
But 'en when they pictured the blood sprinkled tree
G C G Am D G
Jehovah Tsidkenu seemed nothing to me.
G C G D G
Like tears from the daughters of Zion that roll
G C G D G
I wept when the waters went over His soul;
G Am D G C G D
Yet thought not that my sins had nailed to the tree
G C G Am D G
Jehovah Tsidkenu—'twas nothing to me.
G C G D G
When free grace awoke me, by light from on high
G C G D G
Then legal fears shook me
I trembled to die;
G Am D G C G D
No refuge, no safety in self could I see—
G C G Am D G
Jehovah Tsidkenu my Saviour must be.
G C G D G
My terrors all vanished before the sweet name;
G C G D G
My guilty fears banished, with boldness I came
G Am D G C G D
To drink at the fountain, life giving and free
G C G Am D G
Jehovah Tsidkenu is all things to me.
G C G D G
Jehovah Tsidkenu! My treasure and boast
G C G D G
Jehovah Tsidkenu! I ne'er can be lost;
G Am D G C G D
In thee I shall conquer by flood and by field
G C G Am D G
My cable, my anchor, my breast—plate and shield!
G C G Am D G
Even treading the valley, the shadow of death
G C G Am D G
This watchword shall rally my faltering breath;
G Am D G C G D
For while from life's fever my God sets me free
G C G Am D G
Jehovah Tsidkenu, my death song shall be.
