[Verse 1]
G D Em E7
I’m living proof
Am G D
Of what the mercy of God can do
G D
If you knew me then, you’d believe me now

He turned my whole life upside down

Took the old and He made it new
Am G C
That’s just what the mercy of God can do

[Chorus]
C G
Now I’m alive to tell the story
D Em
How I’ve overcome
Cadd9 G
By His goodness and mercy
D Em
And the power of the blood
C G
And I’m so glad that my freedom
D Em
Wasn’t based on what I’ve done
Cadd9 G
But His goodness and mercy
D G
And the power of the blood

[Verse 2]
G D Em E7
I thought I deserved
Am G D
To be six feet beneath the earth

For all the things I’ve done and the things I’ve said
Em E7
The choices made that I regret
Am G Cadd9
Oh, I would still be lost
Am G C
Oh, but for the mercy of God

[Chorus]

Now I’m alive to tell the story

How I’ve overcome
Cadd9 G
By His goodness and mercy

And I’m so glad that my freedom
D Em
Wasn’t based on what I’ve done
Cadd9 G
But His goodness and mercy

And the power of the blood

[Interlude]
C G
There’s power in His blood
C
I know ’cause it healed me
G
Yeah, I know ’cause it changed me

There’s wonder-working power in the blood

[Bridge 1]

And was the Cross meant for me

That my Savior carried?
Em G
Oh, I’ve been made free

By the mercy of God
G
Was the grave meant for me
Em G
Where my sin lay buried?
C G
Now I stand redeemed
C G
By the mercy of God

And was the Cross meant for me
C
That my Savior carried?

Oh, I’ve been made free

By the mercy of God

Where my sin lay buried?

By the mercy of God
