Artist: Phil Wickham
Song: True Love (Acoustic - Live at CMS Productions)
Album: Cannons
This is (I'm pretty sure) exactly how he plays it in this version:
This is such an amazing song, I love it!
Watch the above video for exact timing and strum/mute techniques.
Tuning: C#-G#-C#-F#-G#-C# (half-step below DADGAD)
Chords Used: (Your index finger should stay on the third string
and your ring finger should play the notes on the sixth string.
I found this to be the easiest way and it's the way he plays it.)

Intro:
(x2)
Verse :
Come close, listen to the story
about a love more faithful than the morning
/
The Father gave his only Son just to save us
Chorus:
/
The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Father's broken heart
/
tears were filling heaven's eyes
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
/
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn’t move came crashing down
/
We were free and made alive
(let ring out)
The day that true love died, The day that true love died
Interlude:
Verse 2:
Search your heart you know you can’t deny it
Come on, lose your life just so you can find it
/
The Father gave his only son just to save us
Chorus:
/
The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Father's broken heart
/
tears were filling heaven's eyes
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
/
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn’t move came crashing down
/
We were free and made alive
The day that true love died, The day that true love died
