All Because of Mercy

Intro:
G
Verse:
                G                                  D
I could stand here and try to tell you
                        Em
I found my way here on my own, 
                        C
brought to life this heart of stone
                         G                                      D
Made up my own mind 
                         D
to change my own life
                    Em                              C
Workin' my own to good,
               C
 as if anybody could
                D                             Em                    C
But the truth is, I've been broken since 
              C
my very first breath
                    D                           Em                      C
And the truth is I've been wanderin' since 
             C
my very first step

Chorus:
G                                     
I know the only reason 
D
I can stand here unashamed
Em                                     
Is not because I'm worthy, 
C
it's all because of mercy
G                                                  
There's no way that I could earn it, 
D
praise God my debt is paid
Em                                        
It's not because I'm worthy, 
C
it's all because of mercy

Post-Chorus:
G       Em   C
Ooh, yeah

Verse 2:
                   G                              D
I still remember the day He found me
                  Em                        
Six feet under all my shame, 
                        C
I heard Him call me out by name
             G                            D/F#
Hallelujah, the cross has spoken
                       Em
Jesus, my Savior bled and died 
                           C
to bring this dead man back to life

Chorus:
G                                     
I know the only reason 
D
I can stand here unashamed
Em                                     
Is not because I'm worthy, 
C
it's all because of mercy
G

D
praise God my debt is paid
Em                                        
It's not because I'm worthy,

it's all because of mercy

                       D                           Em   
I'm just as desperate for You now 
             C
as I was back then
          D                      Em
