Verse 1E
and the darkness crept and overshadowed the sun
GA2
we were buried in the sickness our sin had begun
and we were thirsty and we were tired
E
but God said "come" and despite our condition
GA2
light now shines where the dark had convinced us
that no man takes and no man receives
Verse 2E
Instead of repaying us what we deserve
GA2
according to our sin and the wrath that we've earned
He lifted it and He put it on His Son
E
So down came love, the right hand of God
GA2
the man called Christ and he swallowed it up
that all may taste and see
ChorusEGA2
the Lord is gracious, slow to anger
E
rich in love
GA2
He's good, so good to us
Verse 3E
if my righteousness is filthy rags
GA2
and Yours is a shield about my chest
and when the righteous cry you hear
E
and Your voice breaks through the noise and confusion
GA2
responding to my lowly position
I hear you and I feel you
and I know that
ChorusEGA2
the Lord is gracious, slow to anger
E
rich in love
GA2
He's good, so good to us
