Verse 1

  D/A A
I was blinded by the devil
A
Born already ruined
D/A A
    Stone-cold dead
     A
As I stepped out of the womb
   D/A A
By His grace I have been touched
   A
By His word I have been healed
   D/A A
By His hand I’ve been delivered
       A
By His spirit I’ve been sealed

Verse 2

       A
By His truth I can be upright
       A
By His strength I do endure
       A
By His power I’ve been lifted
       A
In His love I am secure
   A
He bought me with a price
A
Freed me from the pit
        A
Full of emptiness and wrath
        A
And the fire that burns in it

Verse 3

A
Nobody to rescue me
A
 Nobody would dare
      A
I was going down for the last time
           A
But by His mercy I’ve been spared
A
 Not by works, bBut by faith in Him who called
    A
For so long I’ve been hindered
    A
For so long I’ve been stalled
