Alas! And did my Savior bleed Newnan City Church

1 verse:
  C
Alas! And did my Savior bleed,
       F                                G
And did my Sovereign die!
            C                            Em
Would He devote that sacred head
     F             G           C
For sinners such as I?

2 verse:
Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

Chorus:
           C                                                G
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
                                                                     C
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
           F                                C       Em/H  Am7
It was there by faith I received my sight,
        Dm           G                        C
And now I am happy all the day!

3 verse:
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut its glories in,
When God, the mighty maker, died
For His own creature's sin!

4 verse:
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears!

5 verse:
But drops of tears can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do!
