FCFBbC7F
My song is love unknown, my Savior's love to me
FCFBbC7F
Love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely be
FBbFCC
Oh, who am I that for my sake,
BbCC
Oh, who am I that for my sake,
FBbFC7F
My Lord should take frail flesh and die?
FCFBbC7F
He came from heaven's throne salvation to bestow
FCFBbC7F
But they refused and none the longed-for Christ would know
FBbFCC
This is my friend, my friend indeed,
BbCC
This is my friend, my friend indeed,
FBbFC7F
Who at my need, His life did spend.
FCFBbC7F
Sometimes they crowd His way and His sweet praises sing
FCFBbC7F
Resounding all the day, hosannas to their King
FBbFCC
Then, "Crucify!" is all their breath,
BbCC
Then, "Crucify!" is all their breath,
FBbC7F
And for His death they thirst and cry.
FCFBbC7F
Why, what has my Lord done to cause this rage and spite
FCFBbC7F
He made the lame to run, and gave the blind their sight
FBbFCC
What injuries, yet these are why,
BbCC
What injuries, yet these are why,
FBbFC7F
The Lord Most High so cruelly dies.
FCFBbC7F
With angry shouts they have my dear Lord done away
FCFBbC7FA murderer they save, the Prince of Life they slay
FBbFCC
Yet willingly, He bears the shame,
BbCC
Yet willingly, He bears the shame,
FBbFC7F
That through His name all might be free.
FCFBbC7F
Here might I stay and sing of Him my soul adores
FCFBbC7F
Never was love, dear King, never was grief like Yours
FBbFCC
This is my friend in whose sweet praise,
BbCC
This is my friend in whose sweet praise,
FBbFC7F
I, all my days would gladly spend.
