Verse one:
C
Wandering into the night
C
Wanting a place to hide
            F                    C
This weary soul, this bag of bones
C
I tried with all my might
C
But I just can't win the fight
             F                C
I'm slowly drifting, a vagabond
     G              Am
And just when I ran out of road
   F            C
I met a man I didn't know
    G               Am         F
And He told me that I was not alone
 
Chorus:
   C
He picked me up
   Dm
He turned me around

He placed my feet on solid ground

I thank the Master
            F
I thank the Savior
            C
Because He healed my heart
    Dm
He changed my name
   C/E             F
Forever free, I'm not the same
             Am
I thank the Master

I thank the Savior
         C
I thank God

C
I cannot dеny what I see
C
Got no choice but to believе
               F
My doubts are burning
                  C
Like ashes in the wind
C
So, so long to my old friends
C
Burden and bitterness
                      F
You can just keep it moving
                       C
But you ain't welcome here
     G                    Am
From now 'til I walk the streets of gold
      F               C
I'll sing of how You saved my soul
     G               Am                    F
This wayward son has found his way back home

To buy my pardon

An empty grave is there to prove

My Saviour lives

How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy He gives
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
Because He lives

Verse three:
And then one day I’ll cross the river
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain
And then as death gives way to victory
I’ll see the lights of glory
And I’ll know He reigns
