D G In splendid, hallowed temple halls D Bm A In courts and crowded streets D G Walked priests and teachers of the Law Bm Em A In pious majesty G A Who loved cold justice, eye for eye D G Who sold forgiveness for a price, Bm Em Showed honor to the qualified G A D And scorn to enemies D G From heaven down to manger stall D Bm A The man of sorrow came D G The victim of the broken Law Bm Em A Yet, Name above all names G A Who bore the wrath due everyone D G For crimes that they, not He, had done Bm Em Forbearing servant -- God the Son G A Who wore His mockers' shame CHORUS: A G D Forgiveness divine, like no other one A G D Your Spirit is mine, to do as You've done Bm Em You paid all my debt and You let me go free G A D And gave me forgiveness divine O gift of Christ -- O Holy Ghost By whom I must forgive Who makes my heart His duty-post And teaches me to live: Remind me of that sacrifice The precious blood that purifies Forgives me daily and supplies The grace that I must give Now taking up our cross each day Like the Anointed One For enemies, we learn to pray Forgiving everyone To all the taunts of passers-by Lord help us bid them "Come and die" That they, like we, may find new life And all will live as one (REPEAT CHORUS)
