 Intro –  *  *  * Csus (x2)
  I said  you gotta leave, you gotta promise  me,
  It's the beginning  of my end, you gotta promise  me,
  How can a holy  God renew a wicked  Pharisee,
  I'm sayin' I'm like Peter  in the boat so just  depart from me.
  It seems I'm destined  for doom like ancient  prophecy,
  And in the dark  I'm consumed, it's just  too much for me,
  With sin in full  bloom my gloom booms  by the full moon,
  And I'm thinkin'  to myself, “How can  You rescue me?”
 My before  and after,  I can't  but sing.
 My before  and after,  I'll sing  praises to my King.
 My before  and after,  Here's the anthem,  let it ring,
   One love,  two arms, three  scars, Draw  us to where You are,
   No one is,  too far,  for You to save  a heart.
 Csus interlude (one bar)
  Then in the darkness  of this room You snuck  up next to me,
  You put Your hand  upon my wound and whispered,  “Rest in Me.”
  And there I stepped  out of the tomb and into  destiny,
  the rest they say is history,
   Your grace is such a mystery.
 TO CHORUS
  I got a name  change, and that's the strange  thing,
  'Cause I was once  stained, now I'm called  saint. (x2)
 TO CHORUS
 *  *  * Csus (x4) (end on [C#])

Intro – [Ebm]  *  [Bsus4]  *  [F#]  *  C

  I [Bsus4]said you gotta leave, you gotta [F#]promise me,
  It's the be[Ebm]ginning of my end, you gotta [C#sus]promise me,
  How can a [Bsus4]holy God renew a wi[F#]cked Pharisee,
  I'm sayin' I'm like [Ebm]Peter in the boat so just[C#sus] depart from me.
  It seems I'm [Bsus4]destined for doom like a[F#]ncient prophecy,
  And in the [Ebm]dark I'm consumed, it's just[C#sus] too much for me,
  With sin in [Bsus4]full bloom my gloom [F#]booms by the full moon,
  And I'm [Ebm]thinkin' to myself, “How can[C#sus] You rescue me?”

[Ebm]       My [Bsus4]before and after,    [F#]   I c[C#sus]an't but sing.
[Ebm]       My [Bsus4]before and after,    [F#]   I'll [C#sus]sing praises to my King.
[Ebm]       My [Bsus4]before and after,    [F#]   Here's the a[C#sus]nthem, let it ring,
      [Ebm] One love,[Bsus4] two arms, t[F#]hree scars,  [C#sus]Draw us to where You are,
      [Ebm] No one is,[Bsus4] too far,     [F#] for You to [C#sus]save a heart.

C

  Then in the [Bsus4]darkness of this room You s[F#]nuck up next to me,
  You put Your [Ebm]hand upon my wound and w[C#sus]hispered, “Rest in Me.”

  And there I [Bsus4]stepped out of the tomb and int[F#]o destiny,
  the rest they say is [Ebm]history,
 [C#sus] Your grace is such a mystery.

TO CHORUS

[Ebm]   [Bsus4]   [F#]   [C#m]

  I got a [Ebm]name change,    and that's the [Bsus4]strange thing,
  'Cause I was [Ebm]once stained,   now I'm [Bsus4]called saint.        (x2)

TO CHORUS

[Ebm] * [Bsus4] * [F#] * C
