Though You Were Rich

Verse 1:
       G      D/F#    Em
Born a babe a virgin birth
 G/B         Am     G/B                  D
My God the high and lofty One You came to earth
       Em      D      C
To be a slave servant of all
  G/B       Am      G/B          D
You washed my feet You took my fall

Chorus:
            G                   D/F#
Though You were rich, You became poor
             Em                     C
That You would die, that I might live
            G                   D/F#
You poured out Your soul even to death
        Em                  C
Taking my sin just to forgive

Verse 2:
          G      D/F#      Em
Then they led You down the road
 G/B        Am     G/B
To a hill called Calvary
                D              Em     D
You took the nails in Your hands and feet
    C        G/B     Am            G/B
You drank the cup of wrath that was reserved for me

Chorus:
            G                   D/F#
Though You were rich, You became poor
             Em                     C
That You would die, that I might live
            G                   D/F#
You poured out Your soul even to death
        Em                  C
Taking my sin just to forgive

Verse 3:
                    G     D/F#       Em
Laid in the ground a stone cold tomb
 G/B          Am     G/B
The wrath of God resting on You
           D                Em
You knew no sin yet sin became
   D          C      G/B        Am       G/B       D
From the foundation You were the Lamb who was slain

Verse 4:
            G        D/F#     Em
Up from the grave You rose again
  G/B         Am         G/B                D
You hold the keys of death and hell You conquered sin
           Em    D     C
You paid my debt a costly price
 G/B       Am              G/B        D
I know that I will be with You in paradise

Chorus 2x:
            G                   D/F#
Though You were rich, You became poor
             Em                     C
That You would die, that I might live
            G                   D/F#
You poured out Your soul even to death
        Em                  C
Taking my sin just to forgive
