I Once Was A Stranger Jehovah Tsidkenu Ukulele chords by Songs Of Praise

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.
