Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Your broken  form up  - on  the cross,
 Your holy love  expressed
Stirs  a passion in  my soul,
Calling me  to give  my best.
 No sacrifice I  could give  to You
 Could match  what You’ve given me.
 For my everything  is but  a drop of dew
 And Calvary is  the sea.
 Calvary is  the sea.
 If I could take the love I feel
 And capture it with words,
 More than what my heart could give
 Is still much less than You deserve.
 If I should ever doubt Your love
 My only prayer would be
 That You would keep Your rugged cross
 Etched upon my memory.

 I heard this beautiful song at church a few weeks ago. It tells of how nothing we can
 sacrifice, can match what God has given to us. Calvary is so big it encompasses all of our
 sins. It illustrates the relationship we have with Jesus, but also leaves us with a
 feeling of awesome reverence for Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. One that we cannot take
 too lightly.
 This is my attempt at creating a tab for the chords of the song. The chords might not be
 in the right positions, so please, do tell me if I messed up. As well, I've only used
 chords that I know, so I might have missed an inversion or a dominant somewhere. I've
 been teaching myself guitar for the last half year, so tell me how I'm doing!
