E F#
I ran across an old box of letters
A7 Am7 E
While I was baggin up some clothes for Goodwill
E F#
You know I had to laugh that the same old struggles
A7 Am7 E
That plagued me then are plaguing me still
E F#
I know the road is long from ground to glory
A7 Am7 E
But a boy can hope he's getting some place
E F#
But you see, I'm running from the very clothes I'm wearing
A7 Am7 E
And dressed like this I'm fit for the chase
D A E
No, there is none righteous
D A E
Not one who understands
D A E
There is none who seek God
D A
No not one, no not one
E F#
I am thankful that I'm incapable
A7 Am7 E
Of doing any good on my own
E F#
'Cause we're all stillborn and dead in our transgressions
A7 Am7 E
We're shackled up to the sin we hold so dear
E F#
So what part can I play in the work of redemption
A7 Am7 E
I can't refuse, I cannot add a thing
D A E D A E
'Cause I am just like Lazarus and I can hear Your voice
D A E D
I stand and rub my eyes and walk to You

Because I have no choice

Of doing any good on my own

I'm so thankful that I'm incapable
A7 Am7 E
Of doing any good on my own
D A E D A E D A E D
D A E
It's by grace I have been saved
D A E
Through faith it's not my own
D A E D
It is the gift of God and not by works

Lest anyone should boast
