At The Cross Chords (Acoustic)
(Guitar down-tuned 1 whole step)
​
​
C
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
F C G
and did my Sovereign die?
C
Would He devote that sacred head
Dm G C
to sinners such as I?
C
Was it for crimes that I had done
F C G
he groaned upon the tree?
C
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
Dm G C
And love beyond degree!
Chorus
C
At the cross, at the cross
G
Where I first saw the light,
G C
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
F C
It was there by faith I received my sight,
Dm G C
And now I am happy all the day!
C
Well might the sun in darkness hide
F C G
and shut his glories in,
C
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
Dm G C
for man the creature's sin.
​
​
Chorus
​
C
But drops of grief can ne'er repay
F C G
the debt of love I owe:
C
Here, Lord, I give my self away
Dm G C
'tis all that I can do.
