Intro: D Em G Bm  D  Em  G  Bm  A  D 

Verse 1:
 
D                  
The skies lay low where You are 
       Em        G          Bm 
On the earth You rest Your feet 
D 
Yet the hands that cradle the stars 
         Em        G        Bm  A D 
Are the hands that bled for me 

 
      G                  D 
In a moment of glorious surrender 
          G                          Bm 
You were broken for all the world to see 
       G  
Lifted out of the ashes 
      Bm          A      D 
I am found in the aftermath 
 

Verse 2:
 
D 
Freedom found in Your scars 
         Em       G       Bm 
In Your grace my life redeemed 
        D 
For You chose to take the sinner’s crown 
       Em          G        Bm A D 
As You placed Your crown on me 

 
         G                   D 
In that moment of glorious surrender 
         G                             Bm 
Was the moment You broke the chains in me 
       G   
Lifted out of the ashes 
      Bm          A      D 
I am found in the aftermath 
             G                        D                                        
And in that moment You opened up the heavens 
        G                         Bm 
To the broken the beggar and the thief 
        G 
Lifted out of the wreckage 
        Bm         A     D 
I find hope in the aftermath 
 

Bridge:
 
    Bm          A   D   
And I know that You're with me 
      Bm         A     D    
Yes I know that You're with me here 
       G     A  Bm          G       D     D Em G Bm A D 
And I know Your love will light the way 

 
        G                        D 
Now all I have I count it all as loss 
        G                        Bm 
But to know You and to carry the cross 
         G 
Knowing I’m found 
       Bm           A    D 
In the light of the aftermath
