4/4, C (G-5)

	 G             C           G           C            G
1.	Lord, You were in the temple, teaching all the people
	        C           G - C
	Of Yourself as the life.
	Dadd9     C           G        C
	Meanwhile I was elsewhere, committing
	     G       C         G - C
	The biggest sin of my life.
	Gmaj9     C               G                C
	The Pharisees they found me, dragged me through the street
	  G              C        G - C
	There midst the people I sat.
	Gmaj9        C            G               C
	Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery
	 G             C          G
	We found her there in the act.
		        C - D         G - Em
		Great I Am, stooping down.
		         C        D               G
		To the ground so low where I was found.
		            C       D                 G     Em
		Where are they who say that you must die today?
		 C      D             G - C - G - C - G
		Woman, go and sin no more.

2.	Down from the mountain You came; I approached You in shame.
	I'm a leper, You see.
	Sin and rebellion's in me and I long to be free;
	If You're willing, cleanse me.
	My destiny is to die; can You help me survive?
	Lord, I know that You can.
	All others, Lord, run away, when they come see my face,
	Helpless hopeless I am.
		Stretching out Your hand unto me,
		How my heart was warmed when You touched me
		With compassion; moved with love I never knew.
		By Your touch to me I'm healed.

3.	I down to Jericho went,
	Met my robbers who stripped me and left me half dead.
	The priests and Levites 'cause they also traveled my way,
	Couldn't help me a bit.
	But, Lord, You came to the earth, despised and slandered,
	A Samaritan low.
	With divinity there and humanity's care,
	Tender and merciful.
		Bound my wounds and poured in oil and wine.
		Gave Your Spirit to me and life divine.
		To the church brought me where care I could receive,
		Jesus, You're my Savior true!
