[Opening]
[C] [Am] [F] [C]
In my [C]sorrows the depths of my despair
Under [Am]burdens that only You could bear
And when [F]I had all but given up, I saw [C]Love

[section 2]
In the [C]shadows blinded and afraid
With the [Am]debt that only You could pay
In the [F]darkness broken and undone, I saw [C] [G]Love

[chorus]
When the [C]Son was lifted up I felt new breath inside my lungs
When the [Am]Son was lifted up I saw my shame where He was hung
When the [F]Son was lifted up I heard His [Dm]voice crying “It is Done!”
I saw [C] [G]Love

[section 3]
Stripped and [C]beaten, nailed upon a tree
In my [Am]place, He drank the cup for me
Flowing [F]down, the water and the blood, I saw [C] [G]Love

[chorus]
When the [C]Son was lifted up I felt new breath inside my lungs
When the [Am]Son was lifted up I saw my shame where He was hung
When the [F]Son was lifted up I heard His [Dm]voice crying “It is Done!”
I saw [C] [G]Love

[chorus]
When the [C]Son was lifted up I saw the stone was rolled away
And the [Am]chains that held my heart He left inside that empty grave
When the [F]Son was lifted up I looked [Dm]upon my Savior’s face
I saw [C] [G]Love, I saw [C] [G]Love [C]yeah

[Closing]
Oh [Dm]King of [G]Love, You have [Am]won my [C]heart
Oh [Dm]King of [G]Love, You have [Am]won my [C]heart
Oh [Dm]King of [G]Love, You have [Am]won my [C]heart
Oh [Dm]King of [G]Love, You have [Am]won my [F2]heart

[chorus]
When the [C]Son was lifted up I felt new breath inside my lungs
When the [Am]Son was lifted up I saw my shame where He was hung
When the [C]Son was lifted up I heard His [F]voice crying “It is Done!”
I [Dm]saw [G]Love

[chorus]
When the [C]Son was lifted up I saw the stone was rolled away
And the [Am]chains that held my heart He left inside that empty grave
When the [F]Son was lifted up I looked [Dm]upon my Savior’s face
I saw [C] [G]Love, I saw [F] [G]Love
