Verse 1: 
 
 Bm 
The angels stood in awe

At the sight they saw

The night you were betrayed

You could have saved Yourself 
         G 
But you held back the heavens 
     D                    A 
And let them carry You away 
  Bm                 G 
You laid Your kingdom down 
     D           A          Bm 
They handed You a crown of thorns 
         G 
You were torn 
          A 
But cried let Your will be done
