 The tuning for this song is what gives it the deep,
 thick guitar sound. DADGAD (low E to high E) is my
 educated guess. I found the match to be perfect.
 Here's how to get there if you're not sure how:
 First, strike the D string and tune the low E down
 to match it.
 Then tune your high E the same way.
 Then strike your A string and tune the B string down
 to match it.
 That's it.
 
 The intro chord is strummed for the entire first
 measure, and is never used again.

 verse
 G                                            
 The cross I wear around my neck who is it for
 
 E min               
 If it is not for us?
 
 C2                                               
 The lame and the blind, the ones held captive and

 chorus
 G min                         E 11 
 The cross I wear around my neck
 
 C2                           
 Is being raised above my head
 
 D2                                         
 I think this time It's wearing someone else
 
 G min                      E 11 
 I see it drop into the ground
 
 C2                                
 And when it falls I hear the sound
 
 D2                          G min E 11 C2 D2 
 Of someone crying I Love You
 
 The progression repeats itself for the song duration.
 Don't forget about the added half-measure just before
 each new verse.
 This song is very powerful. Use it to glorify Jesus.
 In His Love, Rick
