He Took Your Place chords by Porter Wagoner

🎸 Verse :
C                      F
Upon the cruel tree of Calvary
C                            G7
Was there my precious Savior cried
C                              F
Forgive them for they know not what they do
   C      G7                C
Oh sinner friend for you He died



🎸 Chorus:
    F                         C
His hands are gently knocking on your door
                              G7
Outside He's pleading to come in
    C                       F
His heart is breaking as He waits for you
   C        G7              C
To wash you free from every sin

🎸 Verse :
                                  F
Those cold thorns they pierced my Savior's head
    C                          G7
The blood was flowing down His face
   C                       F
In shame forsaken there He hung and died
   C      G7                  C
Oh sinner friend He took your place


🎸 Chorus:
    F                         C
His hands are gently knocking on your door
                              G7
Outside He's pleading to come in
    C                       F
His heart is breaking as He waits for you
   C        G7              C
To wash you free from every sin


                            F
Someday He's coming back to claim His own
      C                    G7
We'll fly to Heaven's open door
    C                         F
The crown of life He gives on that great day
     C         G7           C
With Him we'll live forever more
