       FM9                Dm7         Gm7           Csus4 C7 FM9
1. You tore Yourself from home, from ev'rything You owned.

                Dm7                 Gm7               Csus4 C7
   The only Son,   a hidden sun, to find the homeless ones.


2. You walked our wounded roads in Your poor man's clothes.
   The boundless sky, God most high, bowed before our eyes.

REF1: Jesus on the cross, shelter for the lost,

    FM9                 Dm7                     Gm7             Csus4 C7
      Reveal Your light,   befriend our nights, fill our broken lives.


3. You cast Yourself to sea, the net that set us free,
   The living breath embraced our death to reach our darkest depths. (REF1)


       GM9                Em7       Am7                  Dsus4 D7 GM9
4. You bared Yourself for all, You poured Your thirsting soul.

                    Em7                      Am7            Dsus4 - D7
   Your emptied cup,   Your every drop has raised the fallen up. (REF2)


      Dm            G7     C              Cdim
REF2: Jesus on the cross, shelter for the lost,

    GM9                Em7                     Am7 Dsus4   D7      GM9
      Reveal Your light, befriend our nights, fill     our broken lives.
