My Before And After Tab

Intro –   *    *    *  C#sus  (x2)

Verse1

                               
  I said you gotta leave, you gotta promise me,
                                       C#sus      
  It's the beginning of my end, you gotta promise me,
                          
  How can a holy God renew a wicked Pharisee,
                      Ebm                      C#sus  (let ring)
  I'm sayin' I'm like Peter in the boat so just depart from me.
                                  
  It seems I'm destined for doom like ancient prophecy,
                                      C#sus
  And in the dark I'm consumed, it's just too much for me,
                                                 
  With sin in full bloom my gloom booms by the full moon,
          Ebm                         C#sus  (let ring)
  And I'm thinkin' to myself, “How can You rescue me?”

CHORUS

                           C#sus
       My before and after,       I can't but sing.
                             C#sus
       My before and after,       I'll sing praises to my King.
                                    C#sus
       My before and after,       Here's the anthem, let it ring,
                               C#sus
       One love, two arms, three scars,  Draw us to where You are,
                                 C#sus  (let ring)
       No one is, too far,      for You to save a heart.


C#sus  interlude (one bar)

Verse 2

                                    
  Then in the darkness of this room You snuck up next to me,
                                    C#sus
  You put Your hand upon my wound and whispered, “Rest in Me.”
                    
                                                                   
  And there I stepped out of the tomb and into destiny,
                       
  the rest they say is history,
 C#sus  (let ring)
  Your grace is such a mystery.

TO CHORUS

 *  *  *   (x1)

BRIDGE

                                           
  I got a name change,    and that's the strange thing,
                                    
  'Cause I was once stained,   now I'm called saint.        (x2)

TO CHORUS

 *  *  * C#sus  (x4)  (end on )

This is easiest to play with a Capo on 2.  (Chords are not relative to that, these 
are the true chords.)
