[Verse 1]
G Em C D G
And can it be that I should gain
C D G D A D
An in - t’rest in the Sav - ior’s blood?

Died He for me, who caused His pain?
C G Em D G
For me, who Him to death pur - sued?
D G Em C Am D
A - maz - ing love! How can it be
G C D G
That Thou, my God, should die for me?
[Chorus]

Amazing love! How can it be,
C G C G D G
That Thou, my God, should die for me!
[Verse 2]
G Em C D G
He left His Father’s throne a - bove,
C D G D A D
So free, so infi - nite His grace;
G D G Em D
Emptied Him – self of all but love,
C G Em D G
And bled for Adam’s help - less race.
D G Em C Am D
’Tis mer - cy all, im - mense and free;
G C D G
O praise my God, it reaches me.
[Chorus]
D Am7 G
Amazing love! How can it be,
C G C G D G
That Thou, my God, should die for me!
[Verse 3]
G Em C D G
Long my im - prisoned spir - it lay
C D G D A D
Fast bound in sin and na - ture’s night;
G D G Em D
Thine eye dif – fused a quick – ‘ning ray,
C G Em D G
I woke, the dun - geon flamed with light.
D G Em C Am D
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
G C D G
I rose, went forth and followed Thee.
[Chorus]
D Am7 G
Amazing love! How can it be,
C G C G D G
That Thou, my God, should die for me!
[Verse 4]
G Em C D G
No condem - nation now I dread;
C D G D A D
Je - sus, and all in Him is mine!
G D G Em D
A – live in Him, my liv - ing Head,
C G Em D G
And clothed in righteous – ness di - vine;
D G Em C Am D
Bold I ap - proach th’e – ter - nal throne
G C D G
And claim the crown, through Christ, my own.
[Chorus]
D Am7 G
Amazing love! How can it be,
C G C G D G
That Thou, my God, should die for me!
