Christ For The World

Intro | Bb | | Gm | | Bb/F | | Eb | |

Verse 1
          Gm            Eb Bb
The poor, despised and overborne,
               Gm        Eb         Bb
The faint, the weak, and those who mourn,
                Gm         Eb    Bb
The plagued and sin-sick, sorrow-worn,
     F                 Bb/D      Eb
Our Christ can heal, with loving zeal

Verse 2
The wandering, the wayward, and the lost
By restless passions, conflicted, tossed,
Redeemed at such a countless cost
From dark despair, in triumph declare

Chorus
                Bb        F                 Gm        Eb
Christ for the world, we sing, the world to Christ we bring
           Bb     F   Eb
All of its suffering untold
       Bb       F                      Gm      Eb
Every tribe and tongue into the strong arms of God
               Gm                    F     Eb Bb
Christ for the world, Christ for the world we sing!
 (To Verse 3: | Bb | Gm | Eb | )

(To Bridge: | Bb | )

Verse 3
Revived and new-born souls, whose days
Reclaimed and ransomed from sin's dark ways,
Inspired with rising hope and praise,
To Christ belong, and lift a joyful song

Bridge
            Cm                     Bb/D
With us the work to share, with us reproach to dare,
            Eb                    F
With us the cross to bear in one accord
            Cm                     Bb/D
With us the work to share, with us reproach to dare,
            Eb                     F
With us the cross to bear for our Lord

Outro: Same as the Intro, end on Bb
