Ike Ndolo - Grave To Shudder

      [Verse 1]
Em7               C2       G
I was born under lock and key.
        Em7            C2        G
My slavery was like a friend to me.
           Em7              C2      G
It's all I knew, like the pressing night
          Em7               C2      G
Until You came and gave me back my life.
              Em7               C2      G
This beating heart was growing fainter still,
             Em7            C2    G
Dry from the world and its empty meals.
           Em7          C2        G
I tried to rise, but I could not die.
              Em7             C2       G
You showed me how and put to death my pride.

[Chorus]
Em7                       C
He has made the grave to shudder
           G                D
And all of hell to turn and run!
       Em7             C
He has looked on me a pauper
                G     D
and called me, "Son!"
       Em7                  C
With a glance He melts the mountains
                        G  D
That are building in my heart!
             C2       G
He has given me a new life

[Verse]
                  D
To shine like the stars!
Em7        C2
You count my hairs
Em7        C2       G
Like You count the stars.
Em7        C
Gave me a name
Em7           C2      G
And wrote it on Your heart.
Em7            C
What reckless love
Em7           C2   G
To give Your life away!
Em7                C
Snatched from the pit
Em7 C2      G
My soul to-day.

[Chorus]
Em7                       C
He has made the grave to shudder
           G                D
And all of hell to turn and run!
       Em7             C
He has looked on me a pauper
                G     D
and called me, "Son!"
       Em7                  C
With a glance He melts the mountains
                        G  D
That are building in my heart!
             C2       G
He has given me a new life
                  D
To shine like the stars!

[Bridge]
Em7             G
On the edge of night,
Em7         G       D
Beyond the wall of sound,

          Em7              C
I'll stay close to You, my God,
Em7         G      D
Lead me to higher ground!
Em7         C2     G
Upward and onward still
Em7        G        D
To a land bold and bright!
Em7                C2      G
My Love, You have come to save
Em7              G         D
And turn all my wrongs to right!
Em7       G
Woa -oh -oh
     C2     D
oh oh oh oh oh (x2)

[Chorus]
Em7                       C
He has made the grave to shudder
           G                D
And all of hell to turn and run!
       Em7             C
He has looked on me a pauper
                G     D
and called me, "Son!"
       Em7                  C
With a glance He melts the mountains
                        G  D
That are building in my heart!
             C2       G
He has given me a new life
                  D
To shine like the stars!
