VERSE 1

                 C
I cast my mind to Calvary
                       G                      Am
Where Jesus bled and died for me
                F                                       C/E
I see His wounds, His hands His feet
                     Gadd4            C       Cmaj7/E   F
My Saviour on that cursed tree

VERSE 2
                 C
His body bound and drenched in tears
                         G                             Am
They laid Him down in Joseph’s tomb
                       F                          C/E
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
               G                 C         Cmaj7/E  F
Messiah still and all alone

CHORUS
    C                                    F              C
O praise the name of the Lord our God
    Am                         Gsus   G
O praise His name forevermore
       C/E                            F               Am
For endless days we will sing Your praise
      F              G             C
Oh Lord, Oh Lord our God

| C | Cmaj7/E F |

VERSE 3
                             C
Then on the third at break of dawn
                    G                    Am
The Son of Heaven rose again
                     F                        C/E
O trampled death, where is your sting?
                    G                              C      Csus    C
The angels roar for Christ the King

VERSE 4
He shall return in robes of white
The blazing sun shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face

INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS
