He saw my sin and knew they would keep me
           D                            G
Out of his heaven but he believed I was worth saving
                              C
So he came down to earth as a man
                  D
Took the sin that condemned me
                                           G
Paid the price for me so that I could come in

Verse 2

           C      D           G
The key to heaven was hung on a nail
                      D
On the cross where he suffered
         G                   C
His love prevailed He opened the flood gates
Parted the veil
           C      D           G
The key to heaven was hung on a nail

Verse 3

                               C
Bethlehem’s manger was a quiet beginning
                D
You knew he was coming but he died on a hill
             G
With so many watching and even history
             C                    D
Says that he lived but it doesn’t explain
                                          G
Why he endured the shame and died like he did
