Because Of Love

Because of love he left his throne
And made this earth his home
He did it willingly
For you and me

With heaven left behind
He came to save all mankind
From sin and shame
He could have walked away
But instead he chose
To stay upon [C7]that tɾee
And take a crown of thorns for [Dm7]me
Because of love

Because of love he bore my [A]pain (bore my [A]pain)
Shouldering the blame
Why did he chose to [C7]go (he didn't have to [C7]go, no)
How could he love me so?
Because of love he called to [C7]me
He said child I will set you [A7free
You'll have life abundantly
Because of love (because of love)

He gave unselfishly
Caused my [A]blinded to [C7]eyes to [C7]see
It was [Am7]you [A7and [Bm]me he had in mind
On the ɾoad to [C7]Calvary
I never known such a perfect love
I had fallen down but he picked me up
He ɾescued my [A]soul
Now I want the world to [C7]know

Because of love he left the grave
Prepared for [Dm7]us a place
He'll back again someday
And I will hear him say

Because you [A7believed
You'll live eternally
And I'll fall [Em]on [C7]my [A]knees
And I will cry

You are holy, holy, lord god almighty
You are worthy, to [C7]ɾeceive glory
Honor and [Bm]power forever
Holy, holy, lord god Almighty
You are worthy
To ɾeceive glory
Honor and [Bm]power forever

Amen, A-amen, oh A-amen

Amen
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy

Jesus you [A7are
The angels bow down and [Bm]say
Holy, holy, holy
All creation [C7]cries out
Holy, holy, holy
You're worthy of all [Em]the glory
Forever

holy
