In My Place

E A E B E A E Gethsemane A You go to pray E B My sin has left no other way C#m A And there you weep, this cup is full E B E Thus far has been undrinkable C#m A You could have left my failure there C#m F#m And left my sin for me to bear E A E But oh the strength! The bravery! C#m A E The garden of Gethsemane E A E Jerusalem A Still dark as night E B When scribes and priests condemn the light C#m A The trial should have been for me E B E And all my vile treachery C#m A But You were silent in the face C#m F#m Of false accusers in my place E A E They did not know it was for them C#m A E The darkness in Jerusalem E A E On Calvary’s Cross A Between two thieves E B You still have not forsaken me C#m A But to erase all my trespass E B E The perfect Savior breathes His last C#m A The God of life exchanges this C#m F#m His life for mine, my shame for His E A E Eternal righteousness. The cost: C#m A E Only to look on Calvary’s cross E A E A filthy grave A My Savior still E B Your work is done, Your Father’s will C#m A But there’s a Kingdom now to claim E B E The stone of death is rolled away C#m A You are alive and hold the keys C#m F#m Of death and hell, Your victory E A E You are our God and You have saved C#m A E Your people from a filthy grave C#m A You are alive and hold the keys C#m F#m Of death and hell, Your victory E A E You are our God and You have saved C#m A E Your people from a filthy grave
