Verse 1:
Em C
Does Mary Magdalene's name not remind you of grace?
C Em
Or that when God meets a man, that man's gonna change?
Em
Does the cross on your neck give the right to cast shame?
C
Do you want me to just stay the same?
Em
I know that you'll say what it was, what it is, what it isn't
C
And look at me now through the lens of the life I was living
Em
But I know who I am, I'm a Son, I'm loved and forgiven
C N.C.
I'm not who you think, I've been set free
Chorus:
Em C
So call me a thief, you can say I'm a liar
C G
I was livin' my life with a bad brood of vipers
Em C
A rebel at heart, less than unholy
C G
And rightly accused as the lowest of lowly
G D
You can call me unclean, and all of these things
D C N.C.
I was one and the same, 'til Jesus called my name
[Interlude]
G

And my blood-stained past has been made clean

Oh, the sentence to death has been dropped against me
