G F# F# G - A G-E E G. E D D - C D,, E E - F# G A G-D D, E - F# G A A
Why heal a lonely beggar? Why cause the blind to see? The Light of all creation, Shining there for me?

It was for me He cried, for me He died, for me, He shed His blood upon A tree.

Why climb that dreadful mountain? Why suffer agony? Why give His blood a fountain,

Spilled and broken, flowing free? When He walked the road to Calv’ry,

Gave His life so willingly, Broken there, the Rose of Sharon died for me.

The King who came from heaven, To the cry, “There is no room,”
