My Savior Left His Throne Above Cifras

[Verse I]
           D        G      D
My Savior left his throne above,
   G           D          Bm    A
Exchanged his wealth for poverty;
           D        G      D
He took my hate and gave his love;
     G       D        A      D
All this and more he did for me.
 
 
           G         A     D
Because he chose the lowly way,
           G         Bm       A
And bowed before his Father’s will,
           D        G      D
I can with all assurance say:
    G     D         F#m     Bm
My God is near and loves me still;
    G     D         A       D
My God is near and loves me still.
 
 
[Verse II]
 
           D        G      D
He felt the storms of human pain,
   G           D          Bm    A
He felt temptation’s whelming seas;
            D        G        D
He felt the tears of sorrow’s rain;
     G       D        A      D
All this and more he felt for me.
 
 
           G         A     D
Because he knows my every strife,
           G         Bm       A
And is acquainted with my grief,
           D        G      D
I can’t be shaken in this life;
    G         D       F#m       Bm
The Friend of Sinners walks with me;
     G       D         A       D
The Friend of Sinners walks with me.
 
 
[Verse III]
 
           D        G      D
He kept his Father’s every word,
   G           D     Bm    A
The Law he followed perfectly;
           D        G      D
So all God’s pleasure he secured,
     G       D        A      D
All this and more he earned for me.
 
 
           G         A     D
Because his righteous life is mine,
           G       Bm     A
And all his merits now I own,
           D     G      D
I am a child of God on high;
    G D         F#m     Bm
I am adopted, loved, and known;
    G D         A       D
I am adopted, loved, and known.
 
 
[Verse IV]
           D        G      D
When Jesus left his heavenly home,
   G           D    Bm    A
His face was set on Calvary;
             D        G      D
The steepest hill he climbed alone,
     G       D        A      D
All this and more he did for me.
 
 
           G         A     D
Because he died once for all time,
           G           Bm       A
And bore the curse of death and hell,
           D        G      D
Final forgiveness here is mine;
    G     D         F#m     Bm
So it is finished, all is well;
    G     D          A       D
Yes, it is finished, all is well.
