Alas And Did My Savior Bleed chords by Sojourn

[Verse 1]
C/G
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
Em
And did my Sovereign die.
C/G
Would He devote that sacred head
C
For sinners such as I?

[Verse 2]
C/G
His body slain; nailed to the cross
Em
Bathed in his own blood
C/G
There received the wrath of God
C

His soul in anguish stood.

[Verse 3]
C/G
It was for crimes that I had done
Em
That kept him on the tree.
C/G
Amazing mercy, matchless grace
C
And love beyond degree.

[Verse 4]
C/G
When Christ, our own creator died
Em
And took upon our sin
C/G
Not even in that darkest hour
C
Could glory be shut in

[Chorus]
C            F ­           C ­  Am
My thoughts fixed on His sacrifice
C               F       C Am
The cross that draws me near
C         F ­          C   ­  Am
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
C           F ­     C ­  Am
And melt my eyes to tears.

Lord, I give myself away
