E  B C#m  G#m F#m  E B  B C#m F#m G#m

[Verse 1]
E              C#m
 We get tired, we canʼt win
F#m            B
 We were dead in our sin
E                      C#m
 But thereʼs a hope, a new life
F#m                         B7
 The pressureʼs off, cause Jesus Christʼs alive

[Pre-Chorus]
A              E                             C#m         G#m
 So we can rejoice, though weʼre grieved by various trials for a little while
A                  E                   C#m               B
 ʻcause a genuine faith under testing brings honor and glory to our great King

[Chorus]
E                C#m                     F#m           B
 By Godʼs great mercy we have been born again because Jesus Christ is alive
E            C#m               F#m               B
 Our living hope is in our inheritance, because Jesus Christ is alive
C#m         G#m                A             C#m               F#m
 No grip of fear, no sting in death, by His mercy we have been born again
          B               E
 because Jesus Christ is alive

[Verse 2]
E              C#m
We donʼt have to bear the load
F#m            B
We donʼt have to have control
E              C#m
We are free from guilt and shame
F#m                   B7
ʻcause when He rose, he left death in itʼs grave

[Bridge]
A            E/G#              F#m            E
 No grip of fear, no sting in death, because Jesus Christ is alive
A            E/G#              F#m            E
 Weʼre free from guilt, weʼre free from shame, because Jesus Christ is alive
A            E/G#              F#m            E
 Weʼre free to live for Jesusʼ fame, because Jesus Christ is alive
