✝ Verse 1:
(D)     G      D/F#
There is an everlasting kindness
  Em7  G/A  D
You lavished on us
     G      D/F#
When the radiance of heaven
    Em7    A7sus
came to rescue the lost;
        G        D/F#
You called the sheep without a shepherd
  Em7     G/A D
To leave their dis-tress
     G       D/F#
For your streams of forgiveness
    Em7   Em/A G
And the shade of Your rest.

As the lame ran to meet You

You saw behind the eyes of sorrow
  Em7    G/A D
And shared in our tears,
     G      D/F#
Heard the sigh of the weary,

Let the children draw near.

At the thorns of oppression

For surely You have borne our suffering

And showed grace to the thief.
