VERSE 1: 
Em     D                 Em 
     A life you cannot define, 
  D                Em 
A purpose that’s benign. 
             D            Em 
They need to    see and believe, 
   D                 C 
Be led to the rugged tree. 

PRE-Chorus: 
                    D                                   C 
The one on which He cried, not for His pain but for our debt, 
              D                      C 
The very same tree that He conquered death. 
                 D                   C 
It was an unfair deal on the part of Christ; 
          D                  C     D 
He got my sin, I got eternal life. 

G      D                C 
  Make me the breath of God, 
         D                                        G 
And I’ll show them the One that means the most to me. 
        D               C 
They’ll see the face of love, 
   D                                          G (Em) 
Be touched by the very One that died upon the tree. (repeat) 

VERSE 2: 
Em         D                Em 
     Small talk is a better choice… 
  D                 Em 
A way to avoid Your voice. 
          D                      Em 
I need to    feel the dust on my knees, 
    D                C 
And lead them to the tree. 

BRIDGE: 
C                  D 
   Will you follow me 
                 C                      D 
Lead them to the tree Can’t you just believe 
                C               D 
Will you take a knee For eternity 
          C             D 
For eternity For eternity
