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