He Came a Long Way Mary McKee and The Genesis

1 Verse:
Bb
I owe the debt I couldn't pay, 
       Eb
And it was growing everyday.
      Bb                                F
But Jesus paid it all for me.

Bb
On the Cross of Calvary, 
    Eb
He died for men like you and me
              Bb              F                       Bb
What a Saviour! I love him yes I do.

Chorus:
Bb7              Eb                                 Bb
He came a long long way from heaven.
   F                                           Bb    Bb7
To take away my sin and strife. 
                     Eb                                 Bb
He came a long long way from heaven.
                           F         Bb
To give to us eternal life.

2 Verse:
They crucified the Holy King,
But He was not the one to blame,
O Father, forgive these men,

And to the thief there at His side;
He said to him before He died;
This day,  be with me in paradise.

Chorus:
He came a long long way from heaven.
To take away my sin and strife.
He came a long long way from heaven.
To give to us eternal life.
